    Crossfire dongle + double SLI connector?! ZOMGROXXX!!!! :haha: :haha: 100% performance increase with second card ROFL!! :haha:

    What do you think the connector is for? :mrgreen:

    LOL ATI finally did something to reduce the production cost of X1900GT :lol: How could the current X1900GT possibly compete with 7900GT with higher production cost and not to mention, lower performance.

    Doesn't look like a lower production cost graphic card to me...Nothing like the 7900GT...

    at least now they are using less components on the new board :lol:

    The new supposedly cheaper core doesn't seem so cheap to me though..... :think: It is still almost as large as the R580.

    What is the connector for? Quad CrossFire? LOL!

    I think the PCB is not cheap to make...
