What is the better graphics setup

2 x RD600 in Crossfire running @ 8x

or

2 x 8800GTX SLi running @ 16 x
 
you say that it might be x16 requesit, so the RD600 won't run on the intel 975x chipset then - is that what your saying?
 
OIC - so RD600 isn't the name of the ATI card like 8800 is for nvidia , it's the graphics chipset.

I thought RD600 was replacing the X1950XTX as a card name - my bad.

shoot , i'm loathed to spend so much money on intel platform and settle for a X1950XTX running @ 8x

and i'm also feeling spending on the AMD AM2 X2 to just to get SLi 8800GTX is a waste of money also...

i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place :mad:
 
So I have to wait over a month before I even know if RD600 will deliver!
Let alone if any Mobo Manufactures will have a WorkStaion board with RD600, Intel QX , ddr pc-9000 and PCI-X!!!

And will that beat SLi 8800GTX anyhow?

maybe the Mobo Makers will have a board with SLi DX10 , high DDR , FSB and PCI-X by then? - lets hope so!
 
so again the chipset - not sure which the processor / graphics , well what ever you seem to imply it will still only support 20 PCI-express lanes, so 1 x 16 and 1 x 4 or 2 x 8 , so i might as well save a grand and OC the 6600 and get 2 x X1950XTX , just the memory dilema to sort out and i think i'm done!
