2900xt CF on dual x16 (at x38 chipset)

[z_dori]

hi,
all intel chipsets that support CF has x16/x4 or at asus x8/x8 slots.
at x38 chipset they will finaly by x16/x16 slots for CF.

so in that case, that x2900xt will preforme better?
today it sucks compered to the GTX or Ultra,
but i have a 1920x1200, so i have to go dual....

maybe at PCIe 2.0 we'll see good pref at 1920x1200 with only one card....


what do you think?

thanks,
D.

2900XTs' performance gains linearly from overclocking the PCI-E bus, meanign that it may be having some bandwidth issues, that said, yes, it should see soem performance gain from the 16x/16x instead of 8x/8x.

27" isn't huge, 30" is esp at 2560x1600 , check my build. i dopn't have fps issues, because at a rez of 2560x1600 there is no need for aa because of the pixle density

so what you'r saying is that if i won't use aa i don't need dual vga?
will aa make a different in 1920x1200 res?
