So... the good times of GTX 295 and 5970 ... meh ... i don't see these new solutions being as good in practical terms as the old ones ( yes, they will be quicker, but i don't believe it will have the same "equilibrium" )
They should actually be quite a bit better since both CF and SLI scaling have improved. While they might be a little late, the next refresh probably will not happen till the fall so you should get around 6 months of use before you see new cards out and based on how long it was between the last dual GPU's and these I would imagine it will be about 2 years before these are replaced.
