ATi SurroundView: 790GX + HD4850?

I have that combination with gigabyte mb and sapphire card. It works.

It is interesting tho.
The onboard chip was not recognized by CCC until I enable surround view in my bios. Yet, there is not hybrid crossfire option on CCC. Google it a little bit. In the AMD Game Forum, the admin said hybrid won't work for newer cards. It only works for 2400 or 3400 series card in Vista. (Not 36XX or XP). So the two gpus may have been working seperately instead of being in crossfire mode in my PC since I have XP. I am not sure if a CCC update would fix that. Probably not likely.


If you can afford a higher price, get 790FX and HD4850X2. That will give you four dvi, leave you one slot to add another 4850X2 or 4850 card for some space to upgrade, and it is cheaper than two separate cards.
