But there's no point, because the other GPU would be using it first

Unless, of course, you have one GPU idle while the other is doing all the work, that'd be efficient

I love the OP comparison of current card vs yet to be released card. We love them here

Now get the nvidia yet to be released card vs ATI yet to be released card.. that'd be a nice comparison.
