price: $679$798
are these good prices?
No, those are really really bad for the price.
Yeah, he said he would try to crossfire the 6770 with a 6870 lol, which I believe cannot happen. Although, he said he will get the 6870. Just a question though.
You could hybrid those 2 video cards if ATI still had that technology >:(
But they don't, and you can't CF them.
Whats a thread/hyperthreading and a CF?
A thread is pretty much one pipeline of separate information.
Think about it like this: Each core in a CPU is one thread, because it is processing data separately.
Intel CPUs have HyperThreading, which means that each physical core has 2 logical cores, so pretty much a dual core is transformed in to a quad core. While the performance isn't the same as having the physical cores, it's pretty close.
CF is the technology of using two or more identical AMD video cards together for more power. The limit to the amount of cards you can CF (CrossFire) is 4 at a time. This does not include dual GPU cards like HD6990s, which are technically two HD6970s on the same card. In these cases you can only get 2 of these cards as there are already 2 on each one, so you hit the 4 limit with 2 cards, if you know what I mean.
nVidia has equal technology called SLI.
