A picture is worth a thousand words and this one is surely worth that many. I guess this time we're talking about Radeon HD 3870 X2 for real, it's even working in CrossFire mode. The Radeon HD 3870 X2 has two Radeon HD 3870's on board and is set to be released in Q1 2008 if all goes well. The second, third and fourth pictures show AMD's "Spider" gaming platform running AMD 790FX motherboard and four ATI Radeon HD 3870 video cards in CrossFireX mode.

GrimskullI think AMD/ATI have teamed up with Iran and North Korea and are selling nuclear power stations at a low low price to power up and run your X-Fire system! Only while stocks last! Get yours now in time for Christmas!!!!

erockerIdk, those cards are so close together.... From a cooling standpoint it looks very inefficient.

I doubt I would have to pay for heat anymore with one of these setups.
bolt a VF900CU on it. Problem solved.

The 3870 X2 looks very tempting although as with anything it all depends on the price and the performance.

I assume the 3870 X2 will run on a Intel based Crossfire motherboard (something like the X38).

I am currently looking at my upgrade options and currently having a SLI motherboard two 8800GT's are the most obvious and cheapest option. However if the performance of these cards are alot better (based on my 3ghz C3D as the cpu) then they are an option I will seriously consider.

I imagine anyone buying Quadfire would invest in aftermarket cooling for all the cards...but could you imagine how loud and annoying 4 ATI cards with stock fans at 100% would be? I actually experience it every sunday when I wake up to the sound of people mowing their lawns. Sunday, is especially bad because a truck of workers comes and does everyone's lawns at the same time.
