New Graphic Card for Crossfire

larzi · Jan 19, 2008

My rig: Pentium D, 4Gb ram , Gigabyte G1-Turbo (intel 975x - no the 975xbx), hd 250gb WD, Zalman cooler, Enermax 600 watt, Sapphire x1900xtx......

I am planning to get a whole new GPU. I was planning to do Crossfire but unfortunately my card is really old n no longer around...To get crossfire I have to get a master card which is impossible to find.....

Now I plan to buy a whole new set to do Crossfire...Can any one help me suggest wat card to get using the parts that I currently have...

Welcome to TPU..

Maybe wait till the 3870 x2 is out. Should be a good boost over your last v card. Maybe a new CPU like Quad-core / Core 2 Extreme / Core 2 Duo / if your mobo supports it.

Nope...can't support that type of cpu.....heard that 3870 needs mobo that support crossfire x...mine just support crossfire....

The 3870 X2 should run in any mobo with a PCI-e slot(x16)

You could run the 2ed card without a master card.

Just run Atitool when the system starts to kill the 2/d clocks. Something about the 3d clocks doesnt kick in when you run CF like this.

No CrossfireX is 3 or more cards. That's the only thing that is different. You could run 2 X2 in any crossfire motherboard.

Honestly I would get a new cpu first because any new card would be bottlenecked by that(I think) a E2140-E2200 would beat that thing into the dirt
