ATi X1900XTX + ATi X1950XTX CFE! w00t!!

Hi all Smiley

Finally a dream come true for my appeal, MS Flight Smulater X runs greatly @ 1440 x 900 x32 with MAX settings MAX FSAA, MAX HDR Effects and MAX AF Smiley
so here a pic of my self modded
easyjet.com Boeing 737-800
 aka B738 Smiley
...

More pics soon to come also in other games.

The Driver I'm useing for CrossFire is ATi Catalyst 6.11 WHQL Smiley and they also support Software CrossFire but allround Hardware CrossFire seems to work best Smiley Heh Windows XP Pro even detects 4 VGA cards too lol Grin
...

Software CrossFire only has an advantage at high reso's with max FSAA and AF with HDR combined. but in that part the Hardware mode of doing it runs about 30% faster, but it is very cool to see ATi working on the software part also, that might in the future replace the internal CrossFire as well.
Smart Thinking AMD.ATi Wink

so here the pics of the X1950 XTX CFE card it's self Smiley

Strange how most of the high end cards use the external cable! Roll Eyes

Reminds me of the V2 SLI and the passthrough to the VGA card... Grin

heh well ATi's CrossFire is a lot more complicated than NV's SLi Wink but thanx to Cat 6.11 the cards can do CF with out that cable Smiley only the performance increase will be noticed when MAX FSAA and AF is used, and later models will use the internal CF connectors, which is also seen on X1650 XT and X1950 Pro's cards.

But yeat it looks alot like the Voodoo Scan Line Interleave setup, only the CF setup doesn't require an internal connection like the Voodoo2's did.

Though I can't complain about the performance hehe it's very fast, even when Adaptive FSAA x14 is used Smiley with High Quallity  AF x16, in Call of Duty2 for instance, it really looks very detailed.
... ...

More better news got the Voodoo 5 5500 MAcintosh working in it as well  no lockups yet Smiley
