@gamergeorge002 no this 50000$ worth of graphics cards all together can't run a simple game from 2007. no DUHH OFCOURSE IT CAN

ATI is for gaming, not servers.

@willeyboy2 One, in 2012 crysis is still the most graphic intensive game in the world. What do you mean simple?

And this couldn't run a source engine game properly probably 10 to 15 fps on the source engine. 10 fps on crysis minimum settings. Its for running servers. Not gaming.

its easier to think of these cards as ppus (parallel processing units) as it stops the confusion.
