Does anyone know how well crossfire works on the IP 35 Pro? I have one and this January/February I will be upgrading my video card to either the RV680 or the new high end Nvidia card that are (hopefully) coming out around that time.

If Dual RV680 cards in crossfire outperform the new Nvidia card, I would want to get that, but how well does crossfire work on the IP 35 pro? It is not officially supported, but I have heard of people pulling it off.

The board has 2 X16 PCI-E slots, but the second PCI-E only works at 4X, so will that affect performance much? Do current graphics cards even use that much as it is? Of course, we don't know the full specs of the new cards coming out, but how does it work with current cards, and if it does work fine, how close are todays cards getting to the 4X limit?

Thanks
 
the new card will actually be two 3870 cores on a single pc board. 16/4 crossfire is slower than 16/16 crossfire depending on the game and the resolution. search the bit tech website for their crossfire comparison, but personally i'm a little ambivalent about their article as they really need to improve their testing methods.
