Wanna know how quad crossfire works? read this

look at this man


http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=30751

this means that htey'll be placing two graphics cards on one board, so if u have two of them, youve got 4 GPUs.

Before i continue, please note that if i am mistaken then correct me.thanx

I tink this will be cheaper that quad sli, but not affordable by most of us.

Well whatever, i thought u might be interested in this

see ya

thanx

Yep, the inherent problems with SLI and Xfire setups.

But it's four X1600 GPUs, not X1900s... power req's shouldn't be all that bad actually.

Still, there will be four GPUs so a system near its limit with one X1600 would no doubt bite the big one.

What kind of current loads have you seen for X1900XT or XTX boards? Do you think the requirements for the XF master board is the same? How about 7900GTX? Do you have any links?

It looks to be, the x1600 uses the rv530 gpu. Mybe it's a typo. Hopefully they reworked the 530 to use 256bit mem like it says in the article. Two x1600 are about on par with a x1800 right? If this isn't dirt cheap then it's not really worth anything but show. Two x1800s now thats something worth a look if it doesn't set fire to your computer.

Nope, not by a long shot. Two X1600's are more like a single X1800 GTO, if they're lucky.

The X1600 is a weird GOU to stick in a 4-GPU setup, I figure the only reason is it's low power consumption...
