Not possible. Maybe you mean 6990?

The thing that prevents me from going to an SLI/X-fire setup is all this talk of micro stutter.
The last thing I need is to spend a healthy amount of money on a dual card setup and experience micro stutter. I know many claim never to have experienced it, but others have.

How many users here with dual cards have experienced this phenomenon?

I've never it and I doubt anyone would ever use either if they did but I only use Nvidia GPUs. My last ATI card was a Rage Pro 8mb.

I have dual 580s and never experienced any stutter. SLI is working for me fairly good now although no noticeable jump in FPS. 2D sprites like dust, smoke, explosions and grass can be a big FPS hit, not sure why that is ?????

And you won't until nVidia does a driver to activate it. I look forward to an fps boost when they do.

Not so much a stut..tut...tut...er more like render lags down low flying very high detail.X-fire does make a conciderable difference to performance now.

I still have micro stutters now, I thought I had got rid of nearly all of it but the last two patches have returned the problem.

The promised Sli support from Nvidia (luthier has stated that Nvidia have the information but now need to produce a profile for it) may cure what is left.

The micro stutters aren't noticeable when dog fighting at altitued, only when chasing fleeing enemy down low.

I have limited the amount of stutters I'm getting by limiting fps through EVGA Precision Tool without any loss of performance.
Normally I can get fps in London Attack Single Mission of 45--80fps without frame limiting, over water 80---110fps.

I've limited fps to 35fps and have smoother game play and very little stutters even down low, but I've had to experiment with a lot of settings to achieve that.

C.o.D. is the only modern sim that I play that has this problem (certainly not with R.o.F.)
Sli/Xfire support has been promised for so long now it is very frustrating for all of us who have built dual card systems, let's hope that the next Nvidia driver release comes to the party.

Luthier said that they had also been in touch with AMD/Radeon about support for their product but at that stage they hadn't had a reply.
