    I hope this means that the new Hydravision will be for XP too.

    We'll im trying not to hold my breath for AGP owners...
    but with all they go on about for crossfire and so forth, I guess that is what they have been working on the last 6 months.

    it seems that not only users with crossfire and quadfire will benefit...the performance on single gpu's will increase also...i hope so...since i got this card there was no driver that improved the performance in a game..

    yes, and don't bother wasting your time. all of these so called beta's floating around will only let the system see 3 or 4 gpu's but will not use more than two. my system reads 4 gpu's in crossfire (4x3470) actually 2x3870x2, but guess what, no performance increase at all. I'm really tired of hearing all the hype. really really tired. It's 7950gx2 all over again. makes me wanna :crapper:

    I read somewhere the 8.3 was only gone support dx9 for now, maybe if you try on older games it will work.

    Even current topnotch dual/quad core CPUs are having troubles to screw out every last bit of performance from current high-end graphics cards, even two paired cards have some CPU limit (except with some serious processor oc), so I can't see the point of these quad graphics since currently there is no cpu thats capable of driving the extre performance out of it.

    Lets see if they fix KotOR and color settings on this one since it's been broken since 7.12....
