    Bioware's Dragon Age 2 also receives some performance-seeking attention from NVIDIA. Using the example provided by the company, the GTX 560 Ti should be between 3.6 times and 4.5 times faster with single GTX 560 Ti and GTX 580 boards, respectively, and between 5.6 times and 6.2 times faster in GTX 560 Ti and GTX 580 SLI systems.
    I think this needs to be re-worded a lot! Try:

    nVidia's wording for the bit you're lambasting:
    Performance
    • Increases performance for GeForce 400 Series and 500 Series GPUs in several PC games vs. v266.58 WHQL drivers.

    GeForce GTX 580:
    • Up to 516% in Dragon Age 2 (SLI 2560x1600 8xAA/16xAF Very High, SSAO on)
    • Up to 326% in Dragon Age 2 (1920x1200 8xAA/16xAF Very High, SSAO on)

    GeForce GTX 560 Ti:
    • Up to 461% in Dragon Age 2 (SLI 1920x1200 8xAA/16xAF, Very High)
    • Up to 241% in Dragon Age 2 (1920x1200 4xAA/16xAF, Very High)
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    Wow so is times rather than percent!

    But the bit that confused me the most was the 560 Ti is faster than with the 560 Ti and 580 boards respectively bit.

    You happened to come across a small edit taking place, at the same time as the DA2 image was being added, to clarify the different measurement unit used
