B.Ob. Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 ATI MultiGPU Done Right: The Radeon X1800 CrossFire Edition "The success of CrossFire means much more than whether or not ATI ends up at the top of some silly graphs; it will determine whether or not ATI has a chance at stealing away some of NVIDIA's very profitable Multi-GPU business. And believe it or not, CrossFire's success is very important to Intel. Intel's soon to be launched 975X platform will ship with full CrossFire support, but NVIDIA hasn't blessed it with SLI support, so Intel's only chance to be taken seriously as a high end gaming platform is with ATI's assistance." ATI Radeon X1800 XT Crossfire "Now that ATI have fully released the X1000 series they are taking a second stab at the dual graphics Crossfire solution, with the aim to resolving some of the previous implementation’s issues. With the X1000 series ATI are taking a dual pronged approach; at the high end they are maintaining the specialised “master card” solution that can be mated with an existing board, while at the lower segments they are relying on two standard boards with inter-board communication occurring via the PCI Express interface with the host platform."
