    i would like to connect two HD3870X2 via crossfire (4x GPU).

    so if ati wants my money, they better add full support for these cards and crossfire.

      what about being able to connect nvidia and amd gpu together? :>

        My nvidia 7300 GT is going very well (my ex radeon 9600 was very bad). I am satisfied and if nvidia want to do something for effects in xmame (I can't use them or I will have a black screen) I would be very happy.
        If not, I'm happy too That's the only negative thing I found!

          You aren't meaning this serious, are you?
          However, I even think this could really be possible. We can't expect neither AMD nor NVidia to implement such a thing, but what
          about open source drivers? The X server could load two drivers, for example nv and radeon, and tell them that they should work
          together in some way. Then they have some standarized protocol implemented for talking to each other and coordinate what card
          does which part of the rendering.
          I know this is a somewhat crazy idea and yet there's no real reason why to do this, but wouldn't it be technically possible?

            clustered gpu-computing. so to speak : cross-platform

            yeah, a snowball's chance in hell. i know :]

                Seconded. Unfortunately, I don't expect them to accomplish such a high goal.

                    i want support for virtualization of graphics cards so i can run windows as a virtual machine when i want to game instead of dual booting

                      ATI & Nvidia:

                      Go back and ensure "final" versions of drivers compile on modern Linux kernels. People don't want to loose OpenGL performance on their older card by upgrading Linux kernels.

                      So far Nvidia is doing far better at this.

                      Radeon < 9500 require very old drivers that require < ~2.6.19 kernel.

                      Whoever forces the EOL of a card first, looses the next purchase.
