hey all

Currently i have a 5970 + 5870 in Crossfire so i have 3 5870 GPU's

I'm wondering if there are any comparisons vs a 480GTX SLI setup.

I may be intrested in swapping setups but im unsure.

When are the new 485GTX's due out with the full real fermi specs?

Also am i correct in thiinking nvidia havent even got there bum into gear with surround gameing?
 
if you read that review the x3 5870 wins most of the time, but i would have thought it would being as there are 3 of them and not 2, and the vantage scores on the xbit review show ati ahead too. but they sould be ahead, they shouldve added a tri sli config in there too, just for comparison.
 
also remember that different setups act differently, i was reading reviews before i got my gtx480, and in particular the aliens vs predator whih stated at a res of 2560x1600 the game was unplayable with just one 480, but on my system im getting 32 fps minimum and 55 max with one card, and reviews had them at between 10-18 fps,
