In your price chart it states:

ATI HD 4870X2 2GB 287$
2X Crossfire Quad ATI HD 4870X2 918$
 
Just wondering, but what constitutes a 344$ increase?

Yeah thats the point, quick, lets go buy up their stock and resell em on ebay.
 
Harley:

Since youve got experience w/ tweaking stock 4870x2, did you ever run QuadFire 4870x2? Would riva tuner or any other proggy that controls fans on vid cards would have a problem w/ 2 of them? Last time i checked they said they dont support multi-card setups, but mention that it should work anyway. Thoughts?

any slight voltage flutter in the control center or the cards can knock out the fan setting s too.
 
Well then, running UPS w/ a good PSU should reduce a chance that it could happen at all. Am i right or am i right?
