Hi there

OK some lucky person I am sure will buy this little GEM:-

HIS ATI Radeon X1900 XT-X ***Crossfire Bundle (Includes both Master & Slave cards*** SILENT Heatpipe 1024MB GDDR3 (PCI-Express) - OEM
GX-076-HT_400.jpg

Get double barrel multi-GPU gaming performance that works with all games by adding a HIS X1900 Crossfire?Edition graphics card for powerful GPU sharing. Starting with a HIS CrossFire Ready graphic card and motherboard, using a single external cable unites another HIS CrossFire?Edition co-processor graphic card. HIS CrossFire?accelerates all your games, all the time, and delivers the highest image quality modes and resolutions with no special software or patches needed for compatibility. The IceQ cooling system draws cool air from inside the case and exhausts warm air outwards. This prevents the fan from recycling warm air to cool the VPU, which increases cooling performance and lower the air temperature inside the case significantly. This bundle includes Master Edition X1900 XTX with Crossfire cable and a Slave Edition X1900 XTX. Both cards have ICEQ3 Coolers fitted. This kit is OEM and as such you just get the cards. For drivers visit www.amd.com

BUY NOW!!



This is a cracking deal, pretty much the same price as a pair of X1950 Pro's but more or less twice the performance. We only have ONE so whoever wants it need to buy it before the weekend. :)

unless 2 people decide to chip in and split the costs to get 1 card each.

I wouldn't like to be the one who got the master card...(only one DVI output)


To think i payed £100 over that price for just a single x1900xt-x about 15months ago :eek:

I dunno, it's almost £100 cheaper than the BFG 8800GTX.

If someone's willing to put up with the extra power/heat and Crossfire then it's a really good buy.

IIRC 2 x X1900XT = 1 x 8800GTX.
 
I get just under 12k (couple of hundred points if memory serves) on 3DMark06 with X1900 Crossfire, not sure how that compares to 8800 GTX but I suspect it's in the same league.

That being said you'd be better off really buying the 8800GTX even if it is an extra £100.

I think benchmarks tend to show it being about half-way between a GTS and GTX.

I can't actually be arsed looking though, lol. :o

It's at least level, and in some cases faster.

This was why I argued back at 8800 launch that the X1900/X1950 Crossfire was a feasible option, as the 8800 commanded a much higher price back then.
 
As a crossfire owner who has a few friends with 8800GTX's I can assure you that 2 of these cards are pretty much evenly drawn against a single 8800 - there are a handful of frames in it depending on what game you play, and yes, it does beat out the GTX in some cases.

However, I couldn't really recommend buying 2 of these now when there is a single solution that's quieter, draws less heat and has DX10 for £100 more.
 
Gibbo are those coolers the same as the Revision 1 coolers on the HIS x1950 Pros? (Memory jog: The ones that kept breaking :eek: ).

Also, your cheapest 8800 GTS 640MB is £199 + VAT. I'd have priced it at that level.

NB Isn't it a little misleading to describe it as 1024MB, since you can only use 512?

Other than that, looks good :D
 
I wouldn't exactly be dissapointed with crossfire X1900XT-X's. Too many people on this forum are banging on about how good 8800's are, its getting tiresome. It might be the fastest range of cards available to buy at the moment, but its like buying a 200mph race car, and racing it on a track where you can't go above 100mph. You wouldn't buy a HD-DVD player if HD dvd's weren't going to be available for 7-8months. :rolleyes:
