Its like comparing apples with apples... Its a dupe.
It's ok, the last post didn't get enough comments. Please continue discussion.
... in The Matrix. That strange feeling of deja vu can only mean one thing! Either that or the /. editors are asleep at the wheel again.
I believe that Hannibal mentions that the 970 is designed for SMP.. Clearly CmdrTaco is just testing its newest feature: you click post and the operation gets carried out by both processors.

Who sponsors your feelings?
Eh, nevermind.
Whining about dupe comments is worse than the whining in the dupe comments, and thus the point....don't bitch about the symptom, lobby to stop the source of the pain, and the whining will cease at the same time.
"But Mom, I don't want to go to France!" "Shut up and keep rowing!"
I iz not very technical but. I think it means faster without a noisy fan or a burnt lap.
The hue of the sky is determined by a phenomenon known as the "Tyndall Effect", the scattering of light through a colloid by dust or molecules suspended in a transparent medium.
Note that the light scattering that determines what color you see isn't due to dust in the air, as some think, but rather oxygen and nitrogen molecules.
However, all we are, as Bill and Ted once pointed out, dust in the wind, dude.

Did anyone else catch the bit on the twin FPU's?
Yeah, but they only work when the aftermarket mini-turbochargers are attached and a fiberglass spoiler is added to the heatsink. The resulting turbo lag adds latency that really defeats any advantage of the second FPU. It's really too bad, because the 970 could have pushed Photoshop easily into the 12s.
