This release was earlier than expected!

Hopefully GPUGRID would support it by then.

I start to like ATI. Let's just see how fast it is, we still don't have benchmarks for the 5xxx series while the 4xxx is very very slow as expected due to lack of shared memory in the board.
Hold on few days more. If we get reasonable performance at first, we can think of optimize it for ATI as well.

I liked ATI the minute I got a 4870x2.

Did'nt want to jump into 5xxx until an x2 solution comes out, which it did.

This will definitely save space, money, and power as opposed to cross firing.

Nvidia seriously needs to catch up, fermi or not!

What is the Boinc GFlops rating of your 5970?
