Calm down :P we have no clue what card thats a picture of, and even if it has no *VISABLE* Crossfire fingers, doen't mean the're not located somewhere simply outtasight of the picture.

Oh also not to mention the fact that ATi supports dongleless crossfire

My momentary worry is alleviated, assuming those beasts can perform I think I can definately see my next upgrade on the horizon:)

I think you all will be very, very, very, very happy with performance of the HD4870. Some may even be stunned. But shhhhh....don't tell anyone.

oh man I can't wait to get my hands on a 4870. Looks like it should crush the entire Nvidia lineup in one fell swoop.

Finally, a big metal brace to stop the stupid thing from bending into a taco!
