Hello,
I bought a Sapphire 6950 2 Gig a few months ago and was considering picking up a second.
It's my understanding that when you run cards in Crossfire, that only the memory of the "main" card is used - could someone confirm if this is accurate?
What I'm really getting at - is it worth it to buy a second 6950 2 gig card, or if I save a few bucks and buy the 1 gig am I not going to notice a difference at all if it's only going to use the 2 gig memory on the "main" card which I already have? (ie - does crossfiring only effectively double the graphics processing power or does it also double the memory available?)
Thanks in advance to any replies!
