Dual GPU cards may be a tough sell with the rule changes at the Bot
Especially if they are close to the cost of two standard ones. New rules make way for Tri fire to become mor poular I am thinking .....

Have they made a ruling on this for sure???? You are right...I can play any game I play with a single gpu card..I usually get the dual to have fun with the points at bots...Please let us know if a ruling has been made and what it means...I am ready for new gpu's and if bots is going to limit duals, singles will work for me..

Also the Egg had the 5870's for 35min. tonight..They say they will be strong on the 16th....

Bots page before ruling...

That would explain why 295s are dropping to 285 prices on ebay then LOL

Has there been a confirmed ruling yet??? I don't see one...I wish I understood it better. I understand there concept but wouldn't separating the cards just make the people with help or deep pockets use both dual and single GPU's....By doing this won't you have to be a pro to score much of anything at bots???

I don't really see how it's going to change much...Except possibly keep people from buying dual cards for benching...

What am i missing????
