It wont be anything similar if they use dual pcb's..Nvidia still outperforms ati when AA is enabled. CF only shows a scaling advantage without aa.

are all the X2's using GDDR3?? So, this will behave like overclocked 512mb 3850's in crossfire?

That is correct AFAIK, however I would think that people needing that could setup a hotkey for Crossfire enable/disable or something...
I wonder, do you have to actually enable Crossfire in the CCC with these cards?

meh. what good is pci-e 1x for? unless you're starving for a goo RAID or SCSI controller, eff those 1x slots.

imo, more PCI slots are needed!

/OT

regardless if you can't crossfire them, it's 1 card, so theoretically you can use all for DVI slots and get the same performance as it's not 2 cards crossfired, its one card with 2 GPU's
