**Rabidmoose171** · 05-31-2005, 11:28 AM

I think its like 7,500 - 9,000 marks or so.

i love dfi, and hopefully their crossfire board will be just as kick ass as their nforce 4 board... But one thing that I am happy about is the SPACING between the two cards, from what i can tell dfi double spaced the pci X16 slots, which is an awesome move. More room means more air which means less heat... And I'm happy to hear about the pricing as well...

hmm i thought there was an adapter that plugged into both cards such as this:

**Kunaak** · 05-31-2005, 11:46 AM

it might just be shots of them testing... no idea really.
it's from the DFI booth at Computex.

**perry_78** · 05-31-2005, 11:49 AM

Even though this is nice, it means that one has to have a chipset + gfx brand from the same chip manufacturer. If I now wanted dual x850xt's I would have to get a CF x850xt + a DFI x200 board. Terrible...

That is terrible news, disregarding the good news that dual GFX now works with ATI cards.

Around 9800 according to this test:
http://www.tweaktown.com/document.ph...rticle&dId=771
"3DMark05 is known to favour nVidia cards, so it’ll be interesting to see some results using other benchmarks."

Another thing:
"Interestingly, if you’re going to be upgrading to a Crossfire setup you’ll need to purchase the primary card directly from ATI, as we were told from numerous vendors that ATI will maintain full control over these."

Something tells me they will be hard to find for quiete some time.

**unclutchable** · 05-31-2005, 12:14 PM

9,800? i see a lot of them scoring like 7,800 range..

Well according to most reviews ATI is likely to expand CrossFire support to other platforms in future. I sure hope that in near future end-user will have an independent platrom choice..

**n00b 0f l337** · 05-31-2005, 12:24 PM

In those pics the dongle is only connected to card 1... why?

**Badong** · 05-31-2005, 12:29 PM

Just picture of the system running, probably.

**Damien** · 05-31-2005, 12:38 PM

*sigh* and I just bought my ultra-d...

**[XC] moddolicous** · 05-31-2005, 12:40 PM

wow, this is neat. I think with some LN2, we can expect 16k from someone pretty soon. Hopefully, OPP will get his 45k in 3D01 with a set-up like this.

**~~The Mofo~~** · 05-31-2005, 12:44 PM

Thats awesome. Any hints as to the maximum Vdimm/Core on those new ATI boards?

I too would like to know this. As i have just ordered X2 with a DFI Ultra nforce4

Believe me I know this feeling all too well. Getting a little discouraged with all this newer, better stuff coming out as soon as I buy other things. Getting to be a bit impossible to keep up with other monetary priorities in life. I'm far from rich. I guess I will just have to settle with my Ultra-D for a while longer and just upgrade to a SD or FX and R520 in the winter.

Hmm, seems like I aint gonna stay on top10 in DK in the futuremark products for long :P

---

Anyways... Im chocked by the results... Think they're bad.. - Fought x850XTPE in AMR would hit 11.250-12.000 STOCK... :| - would like a test of my comming setup though.... R520+R480...

- 12k

**skate2snow** · 05-31-2005, 02:57 PM

Very nice

....

I'm happy to see that we can still use our current cards with it

... But should we expect the CrossFire to be more expensive then the normal edition?

And is that post card comming with the motherboard or its a separate accuisition you made?

Thanks

**M.Beier** · 05-31-2005, 03:02 PM

Only one card has to be CF, right??
