No/Yes.

I guess it will be a while, until we really need this.
Is dual-SLI already used to it's full potential?

Ain't UT2K7 Unreal 3.0 engine? Which is also used in... Gears of War? No?

They got it working well on a 6800. We'll be fine with today's cards...not to mention it's releasing in a few months

Of course it's over the top, but it's cool nevertheless.

Of course. Depends on the game as to how much, though, I'm sure.

I don't know what could use it to the full potential of all that power, but the fact that it is doable is cool.

↑ Up to the top!
