How old are you 12? I just showed you that you were behind the times.
I just said read the articles. If you haven't read them and you're telling me I'm behind, then maybe you should examine your own knowledge.
How about a link to this sight. I still wouldn't trust it at all since, posting that would mean they broke NDA, also, i didn't know that any reviewers had the cards yet.
AGP PCI-E Crossfire
Crossfire Hacked
Fine. Don't trust it. It might not be legit, but we get an idea of what's possible. But don't tell me its impossible because we shouldn't trust a site. You guys blab more about Inquirer which is far less reliable than an actual site with an actual demo setup.
And like i said before. You know 0. You just said you cannot use AFR every time. So since ATI only supports AFR, that probably isn't good. Additionally, AFR will not work with older games, in which case you would need SFR, which ATI does not support.
I know 0? More like YOU know 0. ATI does support SFR. Read Anand's article on Crossfire. Not only does it support SPLIT SCREEN, it supports scissor-style (checkerboard) scalable up to 64 GPUs. If you read the commentary there, this is clearly a more flexible style of rendering frames compared to NVidia's SFR and AFR.
This SLI is much improved. Nvidia merely kept the name. The cards are not connected in the same way, and the technology is much more advanced.
Thanks for restating what I said 3 times. It is an IMPROVEMENT to old SLI. In fact it is a significant improvement that they added on SLI, and yes it is very advanced. Crossfire is very advanced too. Your point?
I haven't posted ONE opinion, yet. You are the person who has said in everysingle post that a non-existant technology is far superior to what is already out.
Let's see, you're the one throwing out random insults trying to call me someone outdated and not following news, etc. Then you call Crossfire's ability to link different cards stupid. It may be pointless from a consumer standpoint, but its an ADD ON feature. Who cares if you don't use it, this doesn't mean Crossfire sucks.
Crossfire is nonexistent technology? Before I bash you for your poor logic there and misunderstanding of epistemology, I should just say that it is very existent, and if it weren't we wouldn't be discussing it. It may not be OUT for consumers, but that doesn't mean its non existent. Then whats this R520 talk if its non existent? I'm going to plug in my non existent graphics card once ATI release "it" in September. Awesome!
You are truely amazying. If it isn't smart what is the point of having the option!?!?!?
Yes I am thank you. Let's say you don't have all the money in the world and you bought your X700. Say you want to upgrade now and get an X800XL. Later you might throw in another X800XL and crossfire those 2 later, but for now you at least have a crossfired solution (while it may be crappier). Even Anand illustrates examples where this might be useful. Well there you go. I'm not saying its the most wonderful thing in the world I can link 2 random cards, and I wont be using that feature. I'm sure it will benefit some people. After all I don't upgrade every 3 months, so this could be a potentially useful feature. I'm saying Crossfire has more flexibility than SLI. If you can prove otherwise, bring it. Otherwise stop your whining.
Conclusion: Get back to the topic. How is SLI better than Crossfire? You spend all your time throwing crap at me for what? To prove that you're an idiot or to show that my reasoning that Crossfire > SLI is wrong? I don't see what you're proving.
