It would be really helpful if you had SLI data and Single card data seperate on each benchmark. If a single card is beating an SLI setup - I can figure that out for myself. In the current charts a lot of cards that should be there, or could be there, aren't because your running out of space.
I mean the high performance benchmarks include nothing lower end from ATI than a 1900XT? You are also only reporting on the SLI performance of the 7600GT in the first 4 benchmarks. Most of us aren't going to go out and drop the cash on an SLI setup right off the bat but instead use it as an incremental upgrade.
There were a lot of factors that went in to our decision to cut down the number of tests for this article. Our testing is not over, as we are planning a follow up article as well.
I never really noticed how bad Crossfire sucks. While a 1900 xtx is about as faster and in many cases faster than 7900, when put in Crossfire vs SLI it just blows.

Just a thought.

You mention the X1900 XTX costs $580-$650 yet you can find it at a popular e-tailer like Newegg for as low as http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82...">$509 for an OEM XTXand http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82...">$531.99 for a retail XTX (MIR)classy - Thursday, March 9, 2006 - link
