6870x2?

[Surveyor]

Seriously, (40/28)^2=200% is just a rough estimate. There are also many other factors to consider, especially Amdahl's Law - increasing the shader count without significant improvement in the architecture doesn't necessarily bring much performance increase.

AMD is likely to continue on the sweet-spot strategy - maintain a great performance/watt ratio, then gain halo effect from dual-gpu on a single card.

nVidia is likely to fight for the king of single gpu and gain halo effect in such way.

Er.... OK?

If the 6870x2 had twice the memory they would have been good cards, but they are lacking in memory and the cooler looks terrible on them.

^^ especially the red PCB!

Blue all the way, or green, or black... Just not red

Blue or black.
Infact, just black

Best thing about the next gen of graphics cards is that the current gen go cheap!

If you believe that the next generation of graphics cards will have twice the performance of current cards I think you're kidding yourself.

Even if it was possible AMD and Nvidia would never release such cards as they need to hold something in the tank for the next refresh.

History would be against you.

Really? Both have done it before, numerous times. It's hardly kidding yourself.
