Any info about performance?
Thanks.

The CF edition card is the Master card, there is a special "Dongle" that goes over to the secondary card that goes on that connector.
The second card is just a "regular" XXXXX Radeon Card.
@ Ryder....These are the accessories with DVI dongle cablehttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814142065
@ Chew...Waiting for Yonah's board to run CF with T2600 box and ES![]()

It says that it is the Crossfire Edition, yes.
So that would mean "master card" but, the picture is wrong.
AFAIK, all master cards look like the other 3 cards on this page, I think the picture for the Connect3D card is wrong, but the description does say it is the CF edition.

EDIT: Yes those are the correct accessories for CF card....cable on the right is the "special dongle" for running CF![]()
Thanks for info Ryder![]()
Whew, as long as its mastercard then its ok...I think all 1900s are the same ATI's reference card.

Interested in a 06 record dumo on a64? I think I have the cpu and board to do it if your cards are up to the taskI don't live that far away, not close but R.I. isn't that far.

Hehe I kept mine for a little bit longer. And if we can keep this cpu colder than -50 loaded......3.5+ dual core benchable...........No cold bug to -56 cpu temps so far.

I'll test it and send it to you for a review...I hope that 3Dconnect CF card will run as quick as Sapphire xtx.
Probably not which is why I bought just the regular x1900xt. Interestingly you dont need a master card for x1800xt or lower x1xxx series cards on this board.
If i could find another x1800xt that matched mine at 823/981 on water................imagine that on phase or your DI tubes in 01 or the trifecta for that matter.

Nice tubes Dumo, who made those beauties? Hopefully your CF card is a screamer to match up with the XTX![]()

Anyone try 3Dconnect master?
Get an Sapphire X1900 CF card, not the Connect 3D one.Originally Posted by Dumo
Trust me on this.
Even if you can find BBATI X1900 CF get one,
latest pcb revision -50 should be same as XTX with 1.1ns ram and the
card is suppose to fly compared to first 1900 CF revison -20 with 1.25ns.
Yes, and sent it back within three days with some minor issues.Anyone try 3Dconnect master?
AFAIK there are 2 versions of the master (CrossFire edition) card. I've had for a couple of days the C3D that looked just like the one in the first pic and the manual illustrated the second verison (which had a CF connector much more DVI-looking than the regular one, showed in the first pic). The manual also mentioned the existence of the two versions.![]()
Abit: The original is always best.
Any difference in performance in between those 2 versions?
@Dynasty...Thats interesting..Thanks for info...I will check my local Compusa for bba card, I'm pretty sure they have in stock.
BBATI X1900 Crossfire Edition CHEAPER THAN NEWEGG: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...uctCode=321347Even if you can find BBATI X1900 CF get one
EDIT: Its the same link I sent you Dumo...though if you find a cheaper one go for itAs of right now, the above link from ZZF is $50 cheper than the egg.

Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected ?
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak
-------------------------
@Sioux..Yep, I just got it from rma. This one comes with 2 pci-e connectors.
The old one died by natural causeToo much stress from oc and it was fatal when running FX60 and CF

Then again this is split rail psu
@Perkam...Thanks for the link.
