tweaktown.com — Are we finally seeing flexible ATI Crossfire dual graphics? We check out software Crossfire mode and see how it works! Now there is no need to buy a more expensive CF Master Card and sometimes rare and get straight into running Crossfire in a much easier fashion.

"ATI finally gets it right", until they show that using two cards in parallel gets at least 180% the frame rate of only one card, I won't believe that anyone's got it right.DirectX10 should have had support for mutli-GPU - the current system of the graphics card manufacturers having to hack themselves up their own inefficient system is no good at all.

Curiousity:What happens when you crossfire together two cards of different shader languages? Say a x1600 and a future x2600? I know crossfire allows for dissimilar cards, but will the superior card be forced to drop features?Edit: RTFA. ^_^ ignore me.

You'd need the appropriate drivers right? So if using bootcamp/parallels its might be fine, but you can probably forget it with OSX for a long while.

Can you mix the 1900 xtx and a 1950?Or do they have to be the same card

They are supposed to be compatible as long as you have a "non-Pro" 1950 board.

They must have gotten a wake up call from AMD. ATI it seems, is too stupid to figure it out themselves.
