If I can get a good price on an X1900XT or XTX I am going to review the Software Crossfire support that is built into the 6.11 Catalyst drviers for the X1900 family.

Nudgeing Rednecktech <=== What can we do for one of these cards or should i just ebay one

Rednecktech · 12-04-2006, 04:35 PM

I've requested a price from my suppliers and will let you know when I hear

Total Chaos · 12-04-2006, 05:07 PM

cool
none of the 256MB XT's I would rather the 512MB XT to match the one I have or an XTX 512MB

USED is fine also if you know that it came from a good "GEEK" home

Apparently all they can get right now are the 1950XTX 512mb for $530 plus tax! Local wholesalers just aren't into the higher end stuff much for the most part

Total Chaos · 12-06-2006, 08:34 PM

I've noticed that re: wholesalers

I may have to settle for a 256MB one if I can even find one now without getting gouged, NCIX has one listed in stock but i hate having something shipped that should be common local

Well Crossfire is sweet but my config wont run without the dongle

Sorta kills the idea of looking at Software Crossfire but I could still do a review of my X1900XT Crossfire setup

I see that DH posted a review i did ages ago but i figure I would post linkage anyway for those that want to read it.

As far as I know the X800 line still requires Master/Slave config but X1300/x1600/x1900/x1950 offer Master Card free configs

Google is your friend though

I'm not sure what the full intention of this thread is so I thought I'd ask rather than stepping on anybody's toes.....

I write reviews of computer hardware for another site (it's a computer hardware site rather than a "for sale" site) and I'm wondering if I can drop the links to those reviews in here.

I probably do one or two a month, and I would only link to the ones I did myself, thus the "local" content.....

Like I said... I don't want to step on any toes so I won't unless a mod gives me the go-ahead.
