So the only solution would be for ATI to use a better compositing chip on the next version of the master cards . No problem. I'll just wait until the new revised master cards comes out. The only question is will ATI revise the technology to accomodate a very small portion of market running at very high resolutions. While I wait I guess I can just run a single Nvidia card on my Crossfire platform. :hitself:Quote:

It's not a rumour, it's confirmed. High resolution gaming with flicker free refresh rates is only for SLI. Live with it.

Dual dual-link DVI a bunch of lies you say? Two 30 inch Apple Cinema displays run at native res from one display adaptor.
Thanks to Hanners @ Elite Bastards for the link :)
Edit: OK, I was poking around at Hexus and found this quote to back up my previuos statement.

Crossfire with R5-series GPUs suffers no such limitation given the dual-link outputs for DVI. Enough said.

C'mon nn_step, you can plainly see the new ATI model is....
red ;)
of course, just note the fact that they have similiar PCB form...
looks like they are starting to look alike...
iirc, they are identical in lenght, only the R520 is quite a bit taller. The generic HSF does make it look similar, however I assure you this is not the case.
lol same PCB form?! are you even looking at the card :D :fact:Quote:

so any delievery dates yet for the DR-BT?
We know it's cold in MI but geeeeee, how many times has this been asked? :rolleyes:Quote:

the grouper is dead...
crossfire too if they don't make some major upgrades or overclock like a son of a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:...
how did you come to those conclusions? That article was just a test of integrated video...nobody cares about that. It has nothing to do with crossfire.Quote:

The linky is dead now :confused:
The anandtech one? :confused: It works fine for me.Quote:

Maybe it was the Bullhead board in this article:

It had integrated video...
the RS480 has integrated graphics
the RX480 doesn't...
So they are accurate.. and as for the fate of grouper.. quad SLi will kill it shortly
