Hopefully that link will translate it to English for you.

I dont normally like Toms, but it seems they were just fed information, and they cant screw that up. Anyhow, good info. Hopefully see some real hardware and numbers soon.

No numbers.

Super AA could be interesting.
It will certainly be a boost in some areas, such as Quake 3 where we have 300+ FPS anyway, and the best way to make it better is improving image quality.

At present the user has only the possibility, the dual mode of switching on or off. A restart should be not necessary for it

Also interesting

It was hard at times to figure out what they were saying because of the bad internet translation, but I imagine that people who already own ATI PCI-E graphics cards will be glad to hear that they don't have to buy a new card to go dual-GPU.

Looks like good news for X800 owners and people considering multicard solutions in general.

What I've got to wonder is how the $299 master card can be a match for the X800XT PE?

 

[Cheesetogo]

What did they mean by map?

 

[Ackmed]

Bad translation maybe, I think its "card"?

I thought the master card was supposed to be "bitchin' long" as the inquirer suggested.

well the inquirer feeds us with crap most of the time until the very last minute....the master card is exactly like a normal card

Except for the combining chip things which puts the two cards renderings together.

Extra AA for free does look interesting. Also the master cards don't look any bigger than standard cards, unlike the monstrous pictures that were posted on some websites.

I found the translator's use of the word "corrode" rather amusing.
