check hall of fame on www.futuremark.com
Besides, for most configurations, you're going to get near the normal Crossfire speeds (I should know... I've dealt with a little of all kinds of GPU configurations in my recent past...) with their top of the line Single GPU answer- I'd rather they spent all their efforts on making THAT scream and work right first.

But 8.42 will come when it comes.

They pull it out as soon as it's ready, so please stop speculating why it isn't avaible yet. It isn't, because it isn't finished yet. If you don't want broken AIGLX or other bugs, sit down and enjoy the wait.

But, I suspect that they've just found an issue that they felt wasn't acceptable to allow a release yet- nothing untoward otherwise.

It's an extremely popular and successful distribution, so it's natural that people are going to link an upcoming new distro with an upcoming new driver.

I doesn't make sense for ATI to hold a driver release to coincide with a Linux distro release.
My hope is that when ATI releases 8.42 and IF it does what it promisses, then Ubuntu should make it available through repositories, as it will bring great functionality to lots of users!

I've never had problems with driver stability or it failing horribly on my computer at least -_-; Guess I'm a really lucky one -_-
This wait is killing me...hayaku[hurry]!
