this seems pretty poor from AMD, ati cards have been released behind nvidia offering for a while but they'd usually get the performance edge even by a few measly frames. Now they are releasing poor performing cards behind their competitiors schedule that have more issues with the games they are meant to play. @bsbogus, oh so they are releasing subpar cards because they manufacturing console gpu's? Jeese, its not like the designs for those cards were finallised years ago and have absolutely nothing to do with now or even the past 3 years. Nvidia designed a GPU for the PS3 and the Xbox before that, why are they doing well?

Yea, crossfire is getting owned. like 3000 steam users have crossfire and 30000 have an sli config, somewhere in that ratio. I won't get vista unless every single game i want requires me to have it, so i don't care about DX10.
