| I dread to think how powerfull the x2 cards would be if they featured a hypertransport link. Doesnt any body at ATI no what they are doing. I tell you, 2 steps forward one step back.
 A tearfull Merry Christmas to all forumties? Why: My Wife is leaving me for a Limbo Dancer. I ask you Guys how low can you go.

A hypertransport link?????
If they used that they wouldn't be PCI Express cards, would they? And they wouldn't work on Intel motherboards!
But internally the 48670 X2 talks at more than 20GB/s between the two GPUs. The real speed of these cards is controlled by their internal bandwidth which is well in excess of anything that HyperTransport can achieve, so making them use it would actually make them slower.

What about this sideport feature on the HD4870 x2 card, what's it for.
Hasn't been enable in the software yet, so will we see a performance boost when it is.

In win xp I believe you can only have 4gb of memory including your graphics card memory, so you would be in trouble running 2 HD4870 x2's.
