@ 2010/04/30I just want to say before I get started that what we're doing today isn't really practical in any sense of the word, except for the fact that it can be done. Before we really get into it, let's just put into perspective what this is going to cost to set up. With the HD 5970 TOXIC being rumored at $999 U.S. and the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 480 we're using today costing about $500 U.S. - you're talking about a $1500 U.S. video card setup alone.
I'm going to be honest, though, and say I really wanted to combine the world's fastest video card with what is not only the world's fastest single GPU card, but also the world's fastest PhysX card. Now, we know that NVIDIA frown about the whole mixing NVIDIA and ATI cards together thing, but like most people, we don't care and thanks to a bright individual we're able to do it today.
