Nakatomi2010 Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 I'm currently planning to slowly build a computer that's going to be Crossfire copmatible...I'm going be ordering an Asus P5W DH Deluxe which is apparently Crossfire ready, then get a Core 2 Duo E6600, (In an effort to build up my credit I'm going to pay off these things over a few months, allowing the processor to drop in price and the DX10 video cards to be released for Vista, then get get a video card that can be Crossfired, then buy another one later on...When I buy cards in preperation for Crossfire, do they both need to be the same make and model, or can I mix and match? Can I buy an X1900 XTX, then buy a Crossfire edtion card, or do they both need to be Crossfire Edition? Not entirely too clear on it....
puntoMX Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 You have to buy a complete ATI card, then after that you can buy a "slave" card that will be set in "crossfire". That´s how ATI does it as far as I know .
ripken204 Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 you need a single "crossfire mastercard" and then just another card that just plugs into it.
Nakatomi2010 Posted September 17, 2006 Author Posted September 17, 2006 So you would buy a X1900 XTX regular version, then buy an X1900 XTX Crossfire Edition... Correct? (Example)
