Not impressed at all... Very poor showing in Crysis VH...

I will still probably get the card, but we'll have to wait for another generation until VH Crysis. I don't think the R700 will do it...

Looks like I'll be downgrading in a couple games...I just hope the performance gets better, not much time to mess around with only 15 days remaining in stepup.

Erm..wth happened with CoD4..That is one HELL of a difference in performance...and the price on GX2 is way cheaper...

The results are all over the place...i am hoping its a driver related issue.

If not..once the GTX280/260 comes out...i will purchase a GX2 since the price on that will drop alot..

Quad SLI wins most of the time over 280 SLI, keeps getting worse...
