I'm guessing your 5870 works :P

Oh, a side question...what happened to the first 315 sbeezes?

The thousand dollar price tag on the 6990 is teh dumb. I can get another 6970 in the future when the price goes down for the exact same performance, crossfire is actually working as intended now.

Well in my limited testing, Dirt 2 was a lot faster, Settlers 7 still ran like a pig, and WoW ran a lot better.
