Re: 5,210 stream processors - Dual-GPU AMD Radeon HD 8990

Omg, I need this....will trade my gtx670 ...
hm run spoutcraft on full settings...I wonder ^_^

Crossfire only works in full screen mode, and also is still plagued by microstutter unless you get at least THREE GPU's. If thats fine with you, then by all means go amd for gaming. I know I won't when I upgrade.

I don't see where you coming from with crossfire? I did not say anything about that.
Unless of course nvidia comes out with something as powerful. So it all depends.

Maybe he thinks that Dual GPU solutions function the same as crossfiring two single cards.

Because they do. A 5970, 6990, and 7990 all are crossfired internally and behave as if they are crossfired dual gpu. They do NOT act like a single gpu card. If your game only supports a single GPU, your dual GPU card will only see a load on one core, not both.
