Its been the better part of a year now since the mainstream
acceptance of SLI, and during that time NVidia has enjoyed a fairly
decisive edge in graphics card performance and popularity among the
masses. First there were the delays with the R520 Core, which was
compounded by ATI releasing their Crossfire dual GPU solution with their
"old" X8XX Series cards. When Crossfire was released, I was one of
several reviewers who were kind of ho-hum on it, the X8XX Series card
were the best ATI could muster, and they were only as good as NVidia's
last generation 6800 Series cards. At the time, I withheld judgment for
one reason..... ATI's X1XXX Series cards received a fairly warm welcome
as a major improvement over the X8XX Series. Now, with the release of
ATI's X1900 video card ATI has a pretty formidable high end graphic
solution of their own
