| Re: ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 reviews Not too shabby! And I guess with driver improvements over the next couple of years they will get even better!

but you're right zap in that driver support will be crucial to determining the long term success of this card...that's one of the many reasons why I was always hesitant to buy any SLI/Crossfire cards as driver support always seems to be lacking isn't Nvidia's dual GPU card coming out next month?...I hear their GPU's will be on separate PCB's...lets see if that makes any difference, performance wise...hopefully ATI's semi victory will not be short lived...anybody know if Nvidia will be releasing a high end single GPU card next month or only a dual GPU?
