    3870X2 is not a double card. Its a double gpu on a single card. Unless by double card you meant that.

    With these double gpu cards will SLI or Crossfie still have to be enabled and utilized in order to take advantage of the dual feature?

    I'm almost certain the answer is no. I base this on the fact that (atleast in desktops) you can take two double-GPU cards and run them in SLI. the result is quad-GPU performance o.o

    Almost right about the light (it is actually ambient light from the kitchen).
    Please do not ditch the camera though!!! It is quite good, it is the compression I used so that I could upload to YouTube (and the extra compression that YouTube applied) that messed the recording up!!!

    Callidor not quite right. You do need to run crossfire for 1 3870X2 (The OS sees it as 2 display adapters). And with 2 3870X2's you need to run quad-crossfire.

    Ah, I stand corrected. Say you take a dual-GPU desktop card like a 7950 GX2...does that require SLI mode? I was under the impression that it did not.

    I'm not sure how SLI and nVidia works but I know the way crossfire works. Also the same is applicable to the 9800GX2 I think, it runs in SLI and 2 of them in quad, not sure about the 7950 GX2.

    Ok so.... how about some videos people? Gentech does nice video reviews of the Asus laptops how about someone doing them for the 5793, like Xotic?

    I asked 9800 GX2 users and it`s SLI , true. So Amd3870X2 would be crossfire, but being just 1 card, it might physycally fit inside, but I`m worried about power requirements. A card that normally eats 200W , reduced to 40-45W ... talk about a huge cutdown.
