Oh..my..lord
It's finally coming guys. ATi's new technology that seems like it could crush SLI.
For those who don't want to read, basically, ATi's MVP [multi-video processing] will use two cards. However, instead of specific MVP-compatible cards, any will work. Only one card needs to be configured as an MVP master card, the other, a matching normal ATi card, acts as a slave card [sort of like hard drives on IDE channels]. This presents the idea that it will be very easy to get a dual card setup, as you will even be able to get, say, dual X700 Pro's. You won't have to toss one card to get two new MVP compatable ones.
At any rate, you can imagine that if one ATi X850XT can hold off and be on par with dual 6800GT's in a Direct3D game until max settings, and perform close behind in an OpenGL game, imagine what two will do.
