#NOMACS DISABLE WELCOME WINDOW FULL#
I very much hope 6990 will be free of the 5970's illnesses, but if not, 7xxx MUST start right off with full support (IMHO) if AMD wishes to participate in the HPC market. Gaming performance of these cards are vastly determined by game engine design and not by hardware aiding. I do not know how much extra performance can be squeezed out by hardwiring things, but whatever is done that differs from a regular CF connector is not worth all the aggravation that comes when creating software support. Although 6990 is not out yet, I very much hope AMD did not design it the same way 5970 was done in this matter. In my mind this can only be impossible in the case of 5970 cards if some things were hardwired into the HW that prevents the use of this software disabling of CF. If one has two single GPU-cards connected via CrossFire, it can be disabled through software and both cards can be utilized properly. The fact however that in each generation the flagship on the AMD front is a dual-GPU solution, it would be nice to create proper software support for these pieces of hardware. I really like the fact AMD does not differentiate GPUs artifically by deteriorating GPU capabilities to sell the expensive versions for HPC computing (like GTX and Tesla differ in this sense, most significantly in DP performance). sweet spot predestines AMD to create dual-GPU solutions if it wishes to compete in the GPGPU market and the high-end section of gaming graphics. It is clear that the differing strategies of monolithic die vs. Proper 5970/6990 support functioning as two independant devices.
