Ya, it did

This is really amazing, so what can quad crossfire do.

Now here, i have to move to a different point.

Now quad crossfire will use two R950 chips on a single board. So if u have two of them, it's equal o 4 gpus.

As he inquirer said, it will be based on the x1600 gemini concept, so mostly it'll consist of 4 X1600s. This gives you the ability to connect 8 monitors, but the performance will be equal to that of an X1900 XTX. ATI cant simply use the 1900 series since one x1900 card alone generates a lot of heat. But they might have quad crossfire with high end chips when they release the R600 chip. This link gives u sime basic informaton about this chip.

this chip would be far more powerful and would generate much less heat, and the same applies for power usage.

So, we won't see quad crossfire with high-end chips until either late 2006 ot early 2007.

Good luck ATI

Crossfire beat quad? When? Where? Do you have a link?
I'm not an Nvidiot or an ATI-junkie but I doubt your claim until you back it up with something. As far as I've seen vanilla SLI spanks Crossfire in nearly everything.

I agree. Why do we need that many GPU. Just think of the heat. Even more then that, there aren't too many people that can spend $2000 on 4 GPUs anyway.
ATI and Nvidia are probably going to push quad's then release dual and quad core GPUs that only need one PCI-e slot and use next to no power.
Right now I am happy to wait and see with my X800 GTO.
