What about 2 X 2600XT in Crossfire?

[aminel1358]

Hello ,
I wonder if anybody knows about the performance of two 2600XT in crossfire and if you have seen any real test
Are they the same as one 2900 XT or not?

8800GTS 320 and 2900XT are far way better than 2x2600XT:

It looks really good if you look at the synthetic benchmarks. Then again, once you look at the gaming benchmarks, it starts to really stink.

1 higher end card is always better than 2 lower end cards.

It's really good. If one of these bad boys plays crysis on low, two of them should probably be able to play it on very high.
