    Question...

    When they come into stock i will be getting one of the Sapphire Pure Innovation Motherboards (not sure whether to get the crossfire variant, or the single gpu variant)

    now, Overcloclers.co.uk
    have these motherboards available for pre-order, my question is,

    Why is it that the Crossfire variant is cheaper than the single gpu variant, and cheaper by 40 pounds...?

    What does the single gpu have that is worth 40 pounds that the Crossfire doesnt?
    Sata 2 is the only thing i can see that the single gpu has which the Crossfire doesnt, is that really worth 40 pounds, or am i missing something?

    thanks for anyone that can show me why the single gpu is so much more expensive

    It says at the bottom that it's a Sapphire/OCUK exclusive

    Maybe £40 is the cost of exclusivity?

    Nope, I can't see £40 of difference. I think kOnigen is right. The Crossfire is due earlier, too.
