crossfire?

well according to this 1950 XTs can't be linked in crossfire?

Now, that makes no sense to me, what has newegg done? Look down at the combination matrix.

take another look. the combination matrix says that the x1950xt requires a CF master cards (x1950 MC CF Edition) to run in CF mode. the X1950XT series is 90nm, and the x1950XT does not have the compositing engine chip to run CF mode on it (so two x1950XTs won't work). This card still requires a master card with the compositing engine chip to run Crossfire mode. In addition to this, this was the last card that required a dongle (at one point). ATI has since released drives that make the dongle optional, enabling CF moed in software, at approximately a 10% performance hit.

So, it is best to get 2 X1950pros then?

yes, like the ones I was selling...that you tried to get me below $300 on...jerk

Just to state the obvious, an X1950XT and an X1950CF will give you the best performance, better than two X1900 Pros
