Still the final sentance has it right that does look awesome.
P.S: I'm really surprised of those similar results between both setups :S
in the benchmarks, the nvidia optimized games on a nvidia card runs better.
and ati optimized games run better on ati cards. (but we knew that already).
so while in some of the benchmarks the 5970 in crossfire ran better,
in other benchmarks the GTX 480's ran better.
