But that's the good part of competition - nVidia forced ATI to "afterthink" something out, and it will be getting better with time. Crossfire is just as serious an option as SLI, and if you stick with your "the only real option is to get NVIDIA SLI" you're just purpously closing your eyes.Think what you want, I don't really care. But don't preach unfounded fanboyism without expecting to face differing oppinions. I don’t know what you’re talking about.I have read a lot about it and have downloaded lots of information (mastly by http://www.picktorrent.com search engine )
Well,
- you can’t mix any of the cards you listed with each other, except a GTX with a GTX512 (gotta use only 256mb from each, and run the 512 model at the normal GTX speeds);
- dont see how drivers are better
- dunno if a profile tool/editor for ati exists or is in the making, so cant comment on this; but you’re overestimating the improvement on nvidia
- its just a cable; your guess about the quality comes from what grounds? guess what, you guessed wrong.
- point, unless you go intel; but i seriously hope both ATI and nVidia will release unlocked crossfire drivers that work on any dual16x board
- last i checked, you can’t use the outputs on the secondary card in SLI mode, you have to switch SLI off first; i might be counting on outdated information, but i doubt it.
- yeah, and you do that how often? i bet its much fun and enjoyment… no seriously, you’re right that this is a convenient feature as occasionally you’d have to switch it, but it doesnt seem too important does it? plus there’s no telling if crossfire can’t do the same eventually.

Indeed Crossfire seems like an afterthought to me too, and nVidia’s superiority here is (atleast was, until recently) clear. But that’s the good part of competition – nVidia forced ATI to “afterthink” something out, and it will be getting better with time. Crossfire is just as serious an option as SLI, and if you stick with your “the only real option is to get NVIDIA SLI” you’re just purpously closing your eyes.

Think what you want, I don’t really care. But don’t preach unfounded fanboyism without expecting to face differing oppinions.
