The second method of enabling CrossFire with Radeon X1900GT is in the same way that Radeon X1800GTO CrossFire is enabled. By this we mean that it will be possible to install a pair of Radeon X1900GT's and run a 'masterless' CrossFire configuration, with all data transferring over the PCI-Express bus. Unfortunately, this is not officially supported yet, but it will be possible in a future driver release, scheduled for August this year.

We spoke to ATI about the situation, and they told us that they were planning to enable 'masterless' CrossFire for the Radeon X1900GT in a couple of months time - it will probably make its way into Catalyst 6.8. ATI seeded us with a beta version of the driver for the purposes of this article series.
