i can't imagine how that would work but i have yet to read the article yet
thats pretty crazy, so if someone really had the money to shell out. They could use whichever graphics card performs better easily on whichever game they play. Other than that, its practically a waste of money unless you can actually span a game across both cards.

if you think about it, why the hell would you go out and buy a 6800U and x800XT when you could get 2 6800Us and run it in SLI, i don't see any benefit of running a single XT vs Ultras in sli, except maybe for the features like VIVO or 1080i tv out, i think the reviewers got bored and have too much time and equipment on their hands

Well, as bobmanfoo mentioned, it isn't SLI at all. I'm not surprised at all that this is possible; it's similar to running one AGP and one PCI video card together as many do. However, I fail to see the point of this when compared to a true SLI setup.

I'm glad nVidia and ATi are fighting, it's better for the consumer.

This better not actually happen, or we should all revolt and go and burn down Nvidia and ATI headquarters
