Maybe you can make a tutorial how to setup this system... i'm really curious how to get those two GPU's working...

Keep up the good work

Could this be the new Mac Pro? Right now they top out at 12 cores- this would make it 16.

But ... for 2 video cards on a board that supports only one?

Oops! You're right- I guess you'd need something closer to this board with 3 slots.

I would think dual 6870's would actually be faster due to the HORRIBLE OpenGL performance of nVidia cards in OSX right now. A 570 only benches about 30FPS in Cinebench, whereas a 6870 does about 55ish.

Cinebench is broken and outdated- try LuxMark or Heaven after OpenCL- the NVIDIA cards perform much better.

LuxMark is good, however, Heaven is strictly geared toward the newest cards with tessellation, so it is a bit skewed.
