Get another x1900? now or wait

[Tom|Nbk]

I have the chance to get a brand spanking new Connect 3d x1900 Master card Edition fairly cheap £230 to be exact, now is it worth getting one now to take me through 07 till my next upgrade, or should i wait for the r600 and get a x1950xt-x master card which should be a bit cheaper than 230 by then? what should i do?

is your slave card 512mb ? if so i may be able to offer you something better for a little less money,

 

[Tom|Nbk]

yes its the 512mb

Not exactly cheap, going for £250 now. Not sure if I should go Crossfire myself, or just wait until my X1900XT is slowing down, just replace what I have with a next next next gen card.

im considering selling my 2 week old HIS X1900XT crossfire master, i got it as an RMA replacement for my X1800XT and as i am stuck with a 19" tft and a 17" tft my max res is 1280X1024 on both, i just have a feeling the power of this cards a little wasted on me :/

gimme a day to think about it... i have to weigh up the future too as i want to play supreme commander using 2 screens on full and they have been extreamly guarded about the required spec

Thats crossfire out then, cant run games on dual screen on Xfire, nor SLi for that matter.

if i keep it, i wouldnt be keeping it for the crossfire just for the 512mb. i never intended on going crossfire.

did you decide wheather you wanted to keep it or not
