X marks the spot for Crossfire
ATI prepares a multi-way of its own



AS NVIDIA prepares its three-way, ATI is gearing up to go head to head with its own new Crossfire iteration.

Crossfire X, for thus has it been dubbed, allows for up to four cards to be used in tandem, although that's really theoretical rather than practical. Like Nvidia, Crossfire X will come designed for three cards, which ATI says will give a 2.6x performance boost (assuming fair sailing conditions, a following wind, etc).

The logo has been leaked, and it is here. It's pretty boring really.
Crossfire X is due to roll out along with R670 next month and will be a spoiler for SLIII. Or is that the other way around?

Now call me a cynical old INQ haq, but two-way multi-GPU support in games these days is flakey at best, especially under Vista. Shouldn't these boys be focusing on making their two-way tech work properly before stretching themselves further?
