And with the newer HD5000 series AMD is going for triple ones, just like Matrox did already years ago. As another question in this area, I always see this message on startup in my Xorg.0.log: (II) RADEON(0): Cannot get VRAM scratch space. Allocating in main memory instead As it is an INFO I assume this is not critical and all things work but I always asked myself if this may cause any performance loss?
