A Refreshed Look at 3 Series Crossfire
 

It seems like just yesterday that the 8 series nVidia cards were hitting the shelves, and just last night that ATI's 3 series answered those cards. Those power hungry, gigantic cards from nVidia put up groundbreaking numbers, and ATi's products were quite the close second. The more reasonable of us consumers went out and bought just one card, be it a nice 8800GT(S)(X) or a soundly priced 3870 or 3850. Logical as we were back then, we somehow naively predicted that, when the time to upgrade was upon us, the choice would be clear: we would just grab a matching card, and whip out our ribbon bridges. SLI, Crossfire, CrossfireX even, they were all eligible choices in those good days.
