I'm pretty sure they do.

CrossFire Problem #5: I can run CrossFire Mode with Windowed Mode but I can't run it with Fullscreen Mode (just freezes the game up at main menu of Counter-Strike: Source), Any idea?, heh.

yeah.....go Nvidia and SLi, they have been doing it right for soooooo much longer

Nvidia and their false claims.

Going back to my previous point about my warranty replacement and my offer for an Abit S939 crossfired mobo and 2 x Sapphire 256MB 1950pro's, my contact has actually offered me 2 x 1950XT's instead of the Pro's at no extra cost, are these Crossfire 2 (no master card requirement) also?

So you do need a master card for the 1950XT unlike the Pro?

 

[mikek75]

Yeah, the XT needs a master. The Pro connects with an internal bridge similar to SLI. All Pros have the crossfire gubbins built into the core, much neater.

 

[Schnookums]

WOAH What is that!?!? Looks 1333333337!!! I bet it cools like a mofo!

The X1950 XT requires a CrossFire Edition card from the same Radeon GPU Family.
In other words you'll need the X1950 CrossFire Edition or the X1900 CrossFire Edition.

Good luck trying to set it up though, what do you think I'm doing now.

Hmmmmmm.....dunno, popping down the shop to buy a Nvidia SLi rig because you want REAL dual card performance perhaps???????

2x X1950PROs will give you great performance. Did you ask though?

 

[Tatty_Two]

Well on advice here I am not going to go for the 2 x 1950XT's that requires a master so if it's the ATi Option I think I will go for the 2 x 1950Pro's, I can actually get 2 of the Gecube 1950pro 512MB FZ Supercooled silent turbo that stocks at 680 core and 1620 memory in the warrnty replacement deal, a link to the card is here, grateful for any thoughts, they will give me these two instead of the 1950XT's, (well under negotiation!)

So the way it stacks up is this:

1. Warranty replaced 1800XT.....get one of those badboys above.
2. Have been offered £170 for my 7900GTO, the odd rare ones left are only about £10 more but overclock results with them vary a lot....I have a gem here so my friend wants it!.... thats the second Pro above bought.
3. Been offered £50 for my Epox S939 NF4 Ultra mobo as long as I throw in a brand new unused good quality spare cooler I have.
4. That will pay for the ABit crossfire motherboard, I think its called the MVR-8 something, excellent write ups.

Anyways, until I get agreement from the retailer replacing my 1800XT the above unfortunatly is speculation.

My other alternative is to just get cash, sell my mobo and buy an SLi Mobo and try to either get my hands on another GTO or GTX and flash my GTO to run them in SLi which is what I might have to do dependant on shop, last option is of course to keep what I have at the moment and use the cash (plus what I get for my Sandy 4000+)to buy an Opty 185 x2 that should go to at least 3.1Gig......hmmmmmmm decisions, decisions.

FZ SUPERCOOLED TEC COOLING FTW!!!

It can go higher than max ATi Overdrive speeds (but its capped) and still remain cool, that is the choice... and 512MB!! You are going to get great scores of like 16k.

But why does the link show the Sapphire Ultimate?

 

[Tatty_Two]

Sorry, wrong link, Overclockers is not where I am getting the warranty replacement, its just the only place I could find the card, the correct link is here:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-003-GC

The sapphire is a baby in comparison th this badboy! here's a more close up pic of the monster:

Lol, did an edit above with pic, cant get it until they will agree to one of them being a replacement for the 1800XT, I have even offered to pay the difference but they are dragging their feet, apparantly these cards are pretty rare and hard to come by so I am guessing becasue of that they wanna put their prices up. If they wont deal and prices do go up, even with the money for the 1800XT I am not gonna fork out the xtra to get the whole package, they said they would let me know by Friday.

yeah i hear ya there, even after sharpening and brightening it up it's still a little hard to make out, must have been the way it was layered.
