The HIS HD7970 in Crossfire scores around 1,600 points more than Nvidia's GTX580 in SLi. The GTX590 in Quad SLI takes the lead with a whopping score, just under 18,000 points.
One of these cards is expensive enough, cant believe anyone would need two of these !
not much of a deal to make me want HIS over anyone else. XFX card looks by far the best. surprised they beat sapphire out of the block with a modified card.
What are HIS like for warranty terms in the UK? Some of these far east brands have little support in UK.
the problem is the UK pricing is all over the place. between £440 and £540 and most of them are reference designs. get the cheapest card I say if you want one./
