"PC Format says: “For stability and ease of use, ATI looks to have the edge.”

“…it should deliver on ATI’s near-universal out of the box performance boost over a single card promise."

Bernhard Haluschak, Tecchannel.de, Germany
"The manufacturer is demonstrating the superiority of the CrossFire-2-graphics cards-solution compared with Nvidia’s SLI-technology."

Francesco Ferrari – PC Magazine -Italia
"The advantage for users choosing the ATI solution is not only the performance increase, but better image quality too."

"We wait for the test, but if our benchmark will confirm what ATI says, it’s a tough battle ahead for nVidia SLI solutions."

Julien Jay, Clubic.com
" In terms of performance, ATI is able to reach a 60% advantage vis-a-vis an SLI system with two Ultra GeForce 6800 cards."

"Even at this early of a stage, performance and stability were both impressive. The system we were running had just been assembled hours earlier and didn't crash at all during our testing. In fact, the system was so new that the motherboard manufacturer who let us test with their hardware hadn't even seen it running - it was their first time as well as ours."

"The performance of the solution was equally impressive; at 1024x768 the dual GPU CrossFire setup improved performance by 49%. At 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 the performance went up by 72% and 86% respectively. We had our doubts that ATI would be able to offer performance scaling on par with what we've seen on NVIDIA's SLI but these initial numbers, despite being run on early hardware/drivers, are quite promising."
