ATI comming out with The X2500XTXD a Duel X1900XTX.
when I find the link again I'll post it. They are
blowing away the duel nVidia 7900 cards in every test.

I'll wait till T.E.S. 5 comes out before I buy a
Duel card.

The "graphics library" button at the top of the page may be what you're after.

There have been bad jokes almost as far back as any desktop computers have existed about the bragging rights being some sort of male hormonal electronic sex apparatus stand-in. IMO, the originalal 3dFX SLI was only more of the same, and now there are two companies encouraging the zanies. I'll get by on the 9800XT, or wait a year to play, and get a 6800GS when it costs half of what it does now.

On Bethesda's own forums, I ran across someone claiming that a 7600XT will be a better choice for Oblivion than a 6800GS is. I asked for links to benches, but didn't set a subscription marker. The message flow there is so high, I'll probably never see that thread again!
