Crossfire

[Paracelsus]

Afternoon gents.

I have an X1950XT and was wondering if I could pair this up with an X1950 Pro in CrossFire. The card isn't one of the old 'master'/'slave' edition ones, it just says crossfire capable.

Cheers

nope, you cant, it doesnt have the internal connection of the 1950Pro

 

[Paracelsus]

Ah damn. Thanks mate.

It says on that chart that to crossfire a X1950 Pro you need another X1950 Pro. I understand that, however, does it matter is one card is 512mb and the other is 256mb?

Does ocuk even sell the XT any more? I looked elsewhere and they dont either.

should be fine. Though the 512MB might run with half the mem dissabled?

Not sure how ATI copes with asymmetric configs.

I would get another 512mb card to make life easier, but I cant find one anywhere. I bought if from OC's about 2 months ago, but now it seems to have been discontinued.

Would I be better off just buying a 8800GT?

I would have thought so.

Should be better all round. Cooler, less power hungry, more reliable.

Get the xt sold on the bay and your upgrade won't be too pricey!
