fine, except for the graphics cards. I have them connected with the CrossFire bridge, and I have CrossFire enabled in Catalyst, but they do not seem to actually run in CrossFire. I have run 3dMark06 with one card and with both of them in Crossfire, and the...

or Ultra in the future I could go sli (with a cheap 650i mobo) which run the cards at x8, as opposed to getting a board that can run 2 9800gx2 in quad but needing 2 x16 card slots. I have not kept up to date on the ATI cards so if there is a crossfire option...

the same experience with another ATI card. I have a 975x board so i could do crossfire if need be, but i really was hoping not to go nVidia. Oh well. I do like the 3850 though, If I was in the market for a midrange card I'd be all over this thing. But I...

an SLI ready board to run SLI. Crossfire ready boards run ATI cards in Crossfire. You can run a single card from any company but only way to run two is with ATI cards, Two Nvidia cards in SLI wont work. I know its not relevant as your board wont let you anyway,...

though. The PC should boot up fine even without the crossfire master card as it should just run both cards as seperate cards, and you'll know if you need a crossfire master card when it's running with the latest Catalyst 6.12 which supports software crossfire...

being AFr i cannot see any benefit of the clocks being faster on one card. Ummmmmm I dunno, but I've been doing my research on the subject recently and I just read an article the other day that clearly stated that 2 cards in crossfire run at their own speeds...
