    I am guessing with Dongleless you still need a CrossFire board or has someone found a way to use it on SLI boards?

    Damn I just put the beta 6.6s in last night too.

    Anyone with two X1900 GTs about? I am curious how they stack up in Xfire.

    It supposed to be X1900 GT and lower = no dongle. I suppose if you have two X1900 GTs just install the driver and see if the Crossfire option appears in the CCC. Or install one card, then the driver, then the other card.

    Far Cry performance improves 4-5%. Larger gains of up to 18.3% can be seen when using anisotropic filtering.
    Fear performance improves as much as 8.5% on X1800 and X1900 Single card systems and as much as 14% on X1800 and X1900 Crossfire systems.
    Splinter Cell (original) performance improves as much a 7% on X1300 and X1600 Crossfire systems.
    No mention of improvements people were getting with the Betas. Someone needs to bench these against the Betas, they might be slower.

    Installing, we'll see if BF2 works (didn't with 6.5, fine with 6.3)

    edit: bf2 still won't work, any suggestions? just closes on startup. The last ones that worked with bf2 are 6.3 I hate ATI!! should have stayed with nvidia..

    According to this........http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=5983 no mastercard, no dongle, nothing. However I've just installed the 6.6 officials with 2 X1900GTs on my bad axe mobo (975x chipset, so supports xfire) and it doesnt give me the option! Damn Hexus and ATI!

    so the beta really are faster. I am awaiting the omega based drivers as I prefer those. I hope he mods the faster betas if this really is the case but I doubt it.

    I just spoke with David, main man at hexus and he confirmed 6.6 is "supposed to be" the one that unlocks dongle less Xfire but with an extra twist...RD580 is the chipset it works on.

    So manta, cfx3200 etc users report in and give us the lowdown on if it works or not

    I will try and have a play tomorrow if i can with my 1800XT's
