Certainly not. CAD/CAM doesn't require such a graphics card, most
midrange and often even entry level graphics cards are just fine, and
none of these programs benefit from XFire/SLI.
Additionally, CAD/CAM users and "Graphics Processing professions" want
graphics cards that support features needed for their programs like AA
lines (which the Radeons don't) are certified for their programs and
therefore couldn't care less about gaming cards like the Radeon HD5970.
These users usually buy FireGLs and Quadros for a reason.

That's nonsense. PC games are still made and sold, and the PC gaming
market is up and alive despite the constant "PC gaming goes down the
drain" whining that regularly comes since over a decade. A midrange PC
can do a level of graphics no console can do, and for a big part of
gamers there is no alternative to PC gaming.
Cards like these will sell, and even more they will attract the sales of
smaller models.
