Neat articles for users who don't know anything about Crossfire and SLi. Supposedly Crossfire is more efficent since the major feature is the use of two true 16x PCIE slots, in alternative solutions the 2nd GPU doesn’t necessarily connect to the board chipset via a dedicated 16x link. ATI’s crossfire 3200 has no such limitation and both cards get access to the board chipset via full speed 16x slots.

Im looking forward to the results too. Then again ever since the Voodoo days ive never believed in SLI. I think dual core GPUs is where its at.
