I have to say that I’m impressed with the Asus EAH3870 X2 graphics card – it’s quite a step away from the reference design and innovation like this should be encouraged. The inclusion of four DVI ports will be a welcome addition for anyone looking to run more than a couple of monitors on their workstation and what makes it even better is the fact that, unlike Nvidia’s SLI, ATI CrossFireX technology scales across multiple displays.

There is no need to disable CrossFireX in order to enable multi-display mode – and believe me when I say that is a big thing for anyone like me who is a gamer but also runs multiple displays. It’s for that reason alone that I have never used a GeForce 9800 GX2 or GeForce 7950 GX2 in any system that isn’t used for testing purposes – it defeats the object of having a single graphics card for me because it has all the compromises of SLI.
