pointed to this article.

which points to the newest crossfire dual GPU card. Which is there version of SLI for the whole 800 series ? or just the 850 series video card.

From what I read of the 1000 series they take up two slots which I think kills cross fire solution till ATI can cool the chip better in a single slot version.

This reminds me of the Intel & AMD speed battle where faster versus better design.

Anyways tuff luck for ATI having the bad transistor design hold them back as it has but now Nvidia has some catching up to do next month. In the end us consumers will win. In my case its going to be awhile as I am waiting for better PCI Express MoBo chipsets as theres just not enuf X's on the current models (16x on single video cards & two 8x on SLI or cross fire). Plus we will need more X's for other cards. Cause when I upgrade next time it will be total not just shifting PCI cards & drives everytime.
