Well, with my new build (currently being shipped), the motherboard, GIGABYTE GA-X38-DQ6 supports Crossfire. I currently own a HIS Hightech H195XTQT256DVN-R Radeon X1950XT 256MB, which, per numerous sources supports Crossfire as well.
So, can anyone shed any light on what I would need to have crossfire run? At this point, I am interensted in the knowledge, not necessarly going to do it. If I have the funds, I might set up multi monitor display, and Crossfire would be useful at that point, but not sure.
I know that in earlier flavors of Crossfire, there would be a "cross fire edition" master card that you would need in order to enable crossfire, and then the other card would just be a normal card that supports crossfire. On the newer ones, I know that they use the crossfire bridge to bridge the cards together. My card doesn't have a bridge, so would I need to get a "crossfire master' card, or just another card that supports crossfire (preferrably an identical card I would imagine)?
