dual amd cpu, dual-core ready, Crossfire Ready?

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

can i ask why?

1x 7800gtx will out perform 2x X850XTPE's
1x R520 (when its out) will out perform 2x X850XTPE's

Crossfire is going through final stages of validation i think. Got another
few months at least yet. and by the the R520 should be coming out (it
wouldnt supprise me if they release the 2 the same week so nutters can buy
x2 R520s!)

the 7800ultra will be out by then also

you can update the bios's of the cards to the same version.

also by then the drivers may have changed to allow different bios's. Its not
a hardware limit its something nvidia uses in its drivers
