Crossfire

[Rock8104]

Ok I have an radeon x1950 pro vid card and I want to cross fire with another. I know my mobo can support it. What do I need to get to do this?

A powersupply and proper cooling. I'll search for details and post it later.

System Requirements: PCI Express based PC is required with one x16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard. Connection to the system power supply is required: 450-Watt power supply or greater, 30 Amps on 12 volt rail recommended (assumes fully loaded system). For CrossFire: 550 watt power supply or greater, 38 Amps on 12 volt rail. 512MB of system memory. Installation software requires CD-ROM drive. DVD playback requires DVD drive and decoder software (not included). Please see ati.com/crossfire for a list of recommended ATI CrossFire certified components. To complete the CrossFire platform, a second PCI Express Radeon X1950 PRO graphics card, a CrossFire Ready motherboard and two CrossFire bridge interconnect cables are required.

Is this it?
Does anyone have experience with Crossfire?

Yeah, that's right. There's not much to it. You need a compatible chipset, and two of the same video cards, and then either two crossfire bridges (like the sli bridge) or an external dongle (not sure what the x1950 uses). It was easy to set up my 4870's in xfire, I just stuck them in the slots, connected the bridges, and away I went into gaming nirvana.
