what sticks out to me now is just how broken SLI is in stalker and metro. something about those darn eastern europeans. it is clearly not the 1.5gb of memory because 580 and 6970 are close just like they're supposed to be. but the SLI pairs suck donkey dong compared to the crossfire pairs.




if a reviewer compares their 6990 vs 580 results to their 580 vs 580 sli and 6970 vs 6970 crossfire results, I expect they will find that all the games where 590 sucks compared to 6990 are the games where the 580 sli scaling sucks. meaning some software guys somewhere need to fix their crap.
