ATI CrossFire Review - Dual X850 XTs are Here

PC Perspective has just posted a review of the first iteration of ATI’s CrossFire to hit the market. The X850 XT CrossFire Edition GPU and the Radeon XPress 200 CrossFire Edition chipset are coupled together to build ATI’s competition to the SLI dominance NVIDIA has built. Can it stand up to the 7800 GTX at all? How about some 6800 Ultras?"

nice performance increase to be honest. Now we can expect some really good things from R520

But where are the Crossfire boards?? :unamused_face: nvidia released the SLI chipset in biig numbers… Where are the CF boards??

Yeah… dual X850XTs are matching dual 7800GT cards in performance in everything other than BF2. However these are not worth buying for sure. Its R520 crossfire that most ppl would be interested in!

they are out already for a while. even DFI board is retailing.

SM 3.0 is essential now,no use getting any X800 now,better wait for a week or more…then order the goodies from the egg.

^^ No use getting an X850 now, but then again this was just a tech showcase, and it seems to work.

Hmm.. im looking forward to x1800’s in action together…
