Is there anything better than 8800 GTX SLI?

I've just read an interesting article and I was wondering if it can possibly be true. Apparently even a machine with QX6700 and two 8800 GTX cards and a physics accelerator is not good enough to play Crysis properly :oops: :oops:

8O AMD might have to skip R600 and go straight to R800.

Quad SLI could tame Crysis, but it would also cost over $2200 for the cards alone.

R600 is supposed to be better than G80 and DX10.1 compatible...so a couple of those in an amped Barcelona-based QuadFX should eat Crysis.

And your electric bill.

Eh, i bought the nuclear reactor from an old russian sub a couple months back, figured it was a worth wild investment. Now i can power 2 xfired R600's without blacking out half my block.
