Its an interesting review which shows noticeable gains in a Tri Crossfire scenario using the HD 5770, but including a 4th GPU shrinks the performance gains considerably, it wasn't long ago when putting a 3rd GPU in a Crossfire solution yield little gains, never mind a 4th GPU, read it and post your opinion here, no AMD vs nVidia bashing, I do look forward for a similar review of Tri SLI GTX 460 1GB.

You cant tri sli gtx460's.

That was a good review,tri x fire looks like it has improved a little.

Multi-gpu drivers/scaling have improved dramatically with both camps; but looking at the review, still varies from app to app. Nice review, Guru3D is a good source for multi-gpu info. Spare the ATI specifics (nV faces the same challenge), reviewer sums it up pretty well here..

"So the overall experience was good but on ATI's driver software side things still can improve quite a bit if you reach the extent of 4 GPUs. The big question remains; would I personally purchase a fast single GPU graphics card at 450 EUR, or say three of these puppies at 450 EUR? Well, whatever you like better depends on your preference, but personally I'd stick to one or maybe two high-end cards as there is so much less driver fuzz to worry about."

Nvidia limits 460's to two GPU's for SLI? I did not know that, I wonder why they do that?


Nice scaling in many cases according to the link in the OP. What was surprising is that often the third card adds more performance than the gain from a second card.

A pity, three of them in SLI should be a devasting force.
