Hello,

A quick question.

I own the x1800xl card (HIS). I am saving up to get a mastercard to go with it. I just see that all the mastercards on the OC website say they require a compatable XT slave card.

I was under the impression that the x1800xl cards would work in crossfire mode with the x1800xt card as master.

As ATi are stopping production of the x1800xl range am I bu**ered or will the x1800xt mastercards work in crossfire mode with my current set up?

Thanks

Hussman.

I want one, but would rather wait a couple of weeks rather than going back into my overdraft, but have heard that they're being phased out in favour of the new X1900s (which obviously won't be compatible with the X1800s)


answer from Gibbo

Hi m8

ATI have no more stock current and were down to approx 30 units which we expect to be all sold by the weekend and I can't guarantee we will be able to get any more.

Hi there

Yes buy yourself an X1800 XT Master card and Crossfire it with your X1800 XL and you should still see a reasonable boost in performance. :)

All x1800 range has ceased production, so if you want to go Crossfire then as Gibbo said get your order in by the weekend or thats it. :)
 
can you use a master card as a single graphics card or does it have to be used in a cross fire setup (just incase you wanted to sell it on)

sorry if its a noob question

Hi there

Yes you can use one by itself, but if you need AVIVO then you will need a slave card.
