High end multi-GPU solutions

I was just sufring around the net.. and have found this nice article which is about 8 months old, comparing Ati's Radeon X1950XTX vs. 7900GTX tested in single mode and in both Crossfire/SLI setup. It's nice to see how even older Nvidia 7xxx series performand well over Ati's X1950XTX.

I'll try to find more benchmarks if I can where it should show how much X1950XTX is performing against Nvidia 88xx GTS/GTX Series!
So be sure to enjoy this and read the whole article.. I know I did


Gigabyte GeForce 7600 GS 256MB SLI - for gamers on a budget

The entry-level section of the mainstream market, or more directly the $100-$110 price point, is a very important one for the video card market. Many gamers view a C-note as the starting point for any video card purchase, just as many OEM vendors like this range for gaming-equipped systems. NVIDIA certainly recognizes this fact, and after releasing the powerful GeForce 7600 GT card, followed that up with its lower-clocked GeForce 7600 GS cousin. This bridged the gap between the high and low ends of the mainstream market, and gave NVIDIA a GeForce 7 Series card for virtually any budget.

The GeForce 7600 GS is based on the 90nm G73 core, which is the same basic chip that powers GeForce 7600 GT. This GPU took over for the popular GeForce 6600-based cards, and brought a GeForce 7-level feature set into the mainstream graphics market. The GeForce 7600 GS GPU features the same base specifications as the GeForce 7600 GT, which offers 12 pixel pipes, 12 texture units, 12 pixel shaders, and 5 vertex pipelines. The memory architecture is also shared between the two cards, and features a 128-bit link to 256MB of GDDR2. Other standard features of the GeForce 7600 GS include NVIDIA SLI, CineFX 4.0, Intellisample 4.0, UltraShadow II, and PureVideo
