So to anyone who has good knowledge of ATi, what is all this stuff about Quad crossFire, are there any official links yet?
 
Ha. I'm sure this will totally be supported. :rolleyes:




I'm a bit sour after the support SLI has received.
 
Well, as an SLI owner, it's fairly well supported, about a few weeks before a new/big game title comes out there are Drivers that have an updated SLI profile for it. At the time with the way I game and turn all my settings up, I could not really see myself with a single card. I still have my FX 5900 Ultra too.:rolleyes::D

Edit; at Met-AL I know about that XFire, I use it (add eedarkside), I was referring to Cross (X) Fire.
 
We have nothing more than speculation at this point. Based on most motherboards only have two pcie slots it will require two dual gpu boards. There are rumors it will require vista sp1 to work, when available.

Do you really need SLI? I think its a better deal to buy onr of the latest and greatest cards every generation. If your gaming at a native 2560x1600 then it makes some sense, but with the 8800 GTX and above, we're just stating to see games that make it sweat, and the next gen will soon be here.

I had a couple of 7 series SLI setups, but didn't have a 30" monitor to go with it and it was a waste.
 
Do you need an 8800 period? Technically no, I could be comfy on my old 7800 GTX, but I have the funds and enjoy maxing everything out with some head room left over.

MSI, Asus, and Gigabyte all have boards coming with 4 pcie slots.... I'm to lazy to link right now, but there is info to be had in the AMD motherboard subforum.

:D

I am just trying to start a cultural movement away from abreviating CrossFire as XFire. It should be CFire instead.
 
i'd die with a 7800!! im struggling with a 1900xtx, the problem is once you go high end, its hard to go back down
 
Quad crossfire = a flailing AMD.

No game will scale with 4 GPU's.. even at the highest settings possible, you're going to become either cpu-bound or driver inefficiency-bound first.
