The asus one looks pretty solid. 4DVI, free game, and improved cooling.

Here is a good collection of reviews

I'm willing to bet you won't see that working properly for a little while, the X2's drivers are still being cleaned up, I doubt you'll see anything over 1.75x the performance.Hurry, someone get 2 and crossfire them!
There are rumors circulating that several people have ahold of the quadfire beta drivers -- we might see some benches in the next few days.
is ati really going to have the worlds most powerful graphics card?
nvidia WTF!
No, not really. This Extreme Tech article shows the 3870x2 looking good in synthetic benchmarks, but it pretty much gets spanked by a SINGLE 8800GTS/GTX in actual gaming benchmarks.
Nice try though.

Depends on whose numbers you trust.
AnandTech didn't find anything like what ExtremeTech did.
Neither did HardwareCanucks
I'm not saying one is "more right" than another, but to use a single review site is a bit of a slanted approach. The general results from all the review sites suggest that ATi has one up on NV this round, speaking purely in terms of "single card" performance. But it will be short lived, as I'm quite sure NV is rapidly readying the 9800GX2 fleet as we type.

If it takes 2 of ATI's GPU's to = 1 NV GPU, IMO that is still a spanking--even if talking only in terms of performance. This is not even taking into account power and heat issues with 2x the GPUs.

I have similar issues with ATI fans who like to compare an O/Ced 3870 to a non-O/Ced 8800.
