Citace:
With the X850 and X800 Master Edition, ATI showed that the second most succesful architecture in history of 3D world, the first being of course 3dfx Voodoo, has its limits and that not everything can go according to plan.
With Crossfire logic supposedly being implemented into every R520 chip out there, making a costly and problematic Crossfire off-die chip would be a thing of the past, the most elegant thing for ATI is just to hold on to Crossfire until Fudo arrives. However, this extra time will do great things for ATI, since engineers now have time for a final set of tweaks that should help ATi to wipe the floor with SLI mop. Of course, that is the plan.
