I really had to sit back and tell myself that these are unreleased beta drivers, as the average of only 50% more fps when adding 2 more graphics cards is a bit poor imo.

We have to look at each x2 as a single card, as the ratio between whats already installed and what you are adding is 1:1.

Doubling number of cards and getting 50% boost doesnt sound too bad, certainly not worse than SLI, and DEFINATELY better than TRI sli.

Very interesting results to say the least however nVidia ain't too far behind with their 9800 GX2 due out quite soon.

DAAMIT can have their glory..., for now.
