As a matter of fact, AMD pins its hopes of beating the GeForce 8800 Ultra on a tandem made out of two ordinary Radeon HD 2900 XT working in CrossFire mode. At an official price of $399, a pair of such cards can prove to be as fast as the Nvidia GeForce 8800 Ultra and even cheaper for the end-user. The success will depend on the implementation of CrossFire technology in AMD’s new GPUs and drivers.
Catalyst 7.9 or even 7.8 would get better results. Not to sound like a broken record but for ages all the reviews are using 7.7 and this one is 7.7beta one of the worst performers. I understand it takes a long time to do this many benchmarks but just running one of them once, noting the difference and adding that to the conclusion wouldn't hurt. Yea whatever...
