Looking for Crossfire & Dongle Clarification

[djnsmith7]

For some of you, this may be the xxx time you've seen this question, but I didn't find it in my search.

For clarification, can I buy 2 ATI Crossfire Ready X1800XT & be done with it?

Does the system designate the 1st card as Master & the 2nd card as Slave?

No, you need one "Crossfire Edition" (master) and one regular (the link you dropped) card.

 

[Ulfhednar]

As said; You will need an X1800 Crossfire Edition master card and any X1800XT as the slave.

Thank you for the clarification.

Agree but dont get that! just get 1 x1900xt

 

[djnsmith7]

Can someone confirm which cards can be used in Crossfire without the dongle? I've read that some can with a driver, but I'd like clarification.

Thanks!

negative. I think that applies to the lower end cards but not without a small performance hit. Just use it it's not a big deal.

EDIT: x1900GTs can, true
