I hereby retract my premature statement. It was you who read things correctly, PCIV, and obviously not me.
However the 4870x2 card has two GPUs, which could have led to Cube's statement. I'm going to assume he knows what he was talking about, just used a poor choice of words. Maybe he hit "Add Your Comments" as he realized what was really going on, like I just did.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
4870x2+GTX280?
If this is real, the combined performance of 4870 X2 and GTX 280 combined would be staggering or any other power GPU released to date.
You get the best of both worlds from Nvidia and ATI-- each one complementing their strengths and weaknesses.
Let's hope it's affordable or if any motherboard manufacturer actually implements this.
I feel like such a nerd...knowing thats a math problem involving three gfx cards and not a math problem involving three variables
Not a nerd... the 4870 X2 is just one card. SHAME!
@PCIV:
You've never taken a math class, have you?
