I'll believe it when I see the benchmarks at EF resolutions.

"I'll take 2 with water blocks plz"...is what I'd say if I won the Lotto Max today! Of course there doesn't appear to be an xfire bridge on it, so I'd use one as a paperweight.

I've only seen renders of that Ares card, so they probably just haven't rendered the CrossFire finger on it... ;)

I have put the word in to my fave supplier, as soon as a 5970 4GB is in their channels, I want one. I will be able to sell my current 5970 for almost as much as a got it for and I can finally crank up that AA!

EDIT: just checked my price list, the 5970 has actually gone up by a couple of hundred. WIN!

Post subject:  SLI, Crossfire and VRAM

Can someone clue me in? What practical benefits will there be from having twice as much video RAM besides feeling good about having more video RAM?
