For one thing, much of the hardware and drivers are days and weeks old, not years old. IIRC they did not have a CrossFire rig at the office at all..not even sure about SLI. In a perfect world, you code things to certain specs and the hardware guys build to those same specs and everything works hunky dory specs.. In reality, no one does things to the exact spec, and the hardware variations are so numerous you could have 100 PC's running the game and when it goes public you find out there are THOUSANDS if not tens of THOUSANDS of variations..
