From what I've read on Crossfire it can double perfermence in certain situations and works with many more games than SLI. So shouldnt we see some benches of crossfire and see how it holds up with that? Sure it might be pricey but what if 2 of them double perfermence then it should deffinatly beat out the 7800.

Crossfire doesn't double performance, it gives about 5% gain over SLI, which isn't much at all. Crossfire and the R520 are alittle too late to this party.

Well, crossfire isn't really out yet, so know one really knows what kind of gains you'll get with it.

Also, I've heard something about it being limited to 60 Hz (for monitor) at 1280 X 1024, and 52 Hz at 1600 X 1200.
