I've been told that X850XT crossfire isn't worth getting, because it performs like crap. Is this true?

Basically yes Im sure I heard that 1x X1950Pro outperforms 2x X850XT's in CrossFire
Couldnt you just sell your X850XT and get a X1950 Pro, those cards look great for the money

So in F.E.A.R a 256MB X1950 Pro vs a 512MB X1950 Pro, you're saying the extra 256MB memory wouldn't do anything? I personally think every bit counts...

i see theyve gone down again a cpl days ago they were £140 inc vat and 2 weeks ago i saw them for around £110 (shoulda got that damn thing then ) yea there is no point in 2 x850xt's in crossfire as stated already the x1950 performs better also you have sm3 and if ur gonna crossfire or sli that means extreme gaming, no sense in doing that without sm3 as you want it to be future proof and there are quite a few games now with sm3 and there will be even more next year

Well even better, just reinforces my point! crossfired 850's are much faster than a single 1950pro.

X1950 Pro's cannot be flashed to any other X19x0 BIOS, since they are a completely different product, PCB, and GPU. It's not a crippled core anymore, it's new. But still a great card for the money, but between 256Mb and 512Mb, not much of a difference at all.
Btw, just so you know Asus doesn't have (A)vivo capabilities. If you look at the pic, it's missing a chip in the front of the cooler (by DVI connections), so something to not if you need/use Avivo at all.

Agree with your points (apart from the fact that crossfired 850's ARE faster than the 1950pro) but a DX9 card is hardly "futerproof" unless future is just a couple of months away.

its more futureproof than 2 sm2 cards, and cheaper. by the time dx10 ONLY games come out im sure that will be time to upgrade further but at the moment there are none and lots of sm3 games.
