"I'll take 2 with water blocks plz"...is what I'd say if I won the Lotto Max today! Of course there doesn't appear to be an xfire bridge on it, so I'd use one as a paperweight.

how can you tell from looking at the bottom of the card?

I've only seen renders of that Ares card, so they probably just haven't rendered the CrossFire finger on it... ;)

I have put the word in to my fave supplier, as soon as a 5970 4GB is in their channels, I want one. I will be able to sell my current 5970 for almost as much as a got it for and I can finally crank up that AA!

EDIT: just checked my price list, the 5970 has actually gone up by a couple of hundred. WIN!

Can someone clue me in? What practical benefits will there be from having twice as much video RAM besides feeling good about having more video RAM?
