CrossFire Slipping?

Me too, I keep thinking they're meaning "ChristFire" and they're some kind of religious freakazoids. :?CJ said:
EDITED BITS: Why not "CF" to abbreviate "CrossFire"? Not only does it make more sense it's shorter too.
No, no, NO! That's all wrong. :?geo said:Hmm. XF.
I didn't notice a driver rev mentioned. The scary thing to me, is if that is pretty close to what ATI internal has. . .well, I don't think we will be seeing CF (THERE, YA HAPPY?!) for sale before R520 launch. Totally seat-of-the-pants (I have some software development background, but not in this kind of thing) reaction was "ish, two months".

Wrong. The messenger is pronounced "Eks fire" (see this topic or this topic) or to quote a dev: "We say Eks-fire here in the office".
And it's used by nearly 2 million of gamers already. Since CrossFire is aimed at the same gaming community as Xfire, it would imo only cause more confusion if people use Xfire when they mean ATi's CrossFire. When I see Xfire, I think Instant Messenging, I think "Eks fire" and I'm prolly not the only gamer.
I'm just wondering what other symbol people had in mind for a "cross"?
x comes close like pedxing
ped. eksing or ped. crossing?
I'm using Xfire myself.. and seeing that it's written with a capital X .. I'm more than happy to use xfire for crossfire (or cf, but that's compact flash allready..)

More evidence we are getting closer. . .
OTOH, Saphire-branded master cards? (check the labels on the card). What happened to ATI branded-only master cards? Is this their concession to the non-NA market?

Just noticed this in Boy Wonder's latest weblog:

Crossfire delayed until September, when one presumes R520 will be available. Of course Boy Wonder had hinted in this direction previously as well.
So, Inq claims it as "official" --anyone else confirm/deny?
