New world record in 3DMark05 !

[NikolaX]

ATI Technologies proclaimed the world's record 3DMark05 score that was achieved by the company's CrossFire platform featuring two presumably overclocked graphics cards. The new record is 15 498 marks, which is around 6% higher compared to the previous record held by a multi-GPU system based on NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra SLI platform.

the crossfire is looking very good!

ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 CrossFire Edition mainboards will be available from ATI’s partners beginning in June, whereas RADEON X850 CrossFire Edition graphics cards will be in production end of June and available mid-July. RADEON X800 CrossFire Edition cards will be available early August, ATI said.

I suppose now would be a good time for me to start crying and rolling in despair at how I'll never afford one high-end card, let alone two.

but you will be able to buy new crossfire mobo, if you have interest to max your hardware and OC to hell
and you will be able to use old x800 cards btw for paring with x800XL selector card.

Who cares about the record 3D Mark score? Obviously 3D Mark scores are going to improve with technology.

It is not about the record, it is the Crossfire ! therefore better then Nforce4 SLI.
it is good to see ATI have good rival to nvidia SLI.

Great news for Ati! Now I'm really interested with what nVidia have to offer with there new GPU thats coming out soon!

I'll stick with the one card...

From what I gather you'll nee two new ATI cards as the current batch aren't crossfire compat

Well isn't nVidia already working on SLI2 or w/e? If so...wouldn't that mean that nVidia is going to be "in the lead" again? I don't really care much about 3DMark scores I just care about getting 80+ FPS in my games .

You will need one selector card, it will be new x850 and follwed by x800XL, and other can be eny of x800.
