fretwear Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hey Rugg, you're right it's the master card and it's aka "Crossfire Edition"...That's got it sorted and thanks! :) --------------------- FX 55 Sandy@ 3.03 GHz Tuniq Tower 120 DFI Lanparty CFX 3200-DR/G (2X) X1950XTX Crossfire@ 695 core 2048 OCZ PC 3200 Platinum (2-3-2-5) Antec TP3 650 Samsung 19" LCD (8ms) Saitek X-45 HOTAS Track IR 4 CH Pro Pedals :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretwear Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Enjoy! SLI doesn't work for Lock On, but Crossfire does.:beer: --------------------- FX 55 Sandy@ 3.03 GHz Tuniq Tower 120 DFI Lanparty CFX 3200-DR/G (2X) X1950XTX Crossfire@ 695 core 2048 OCZ PC 3200 Platinum (2-3-2-5) Antec TP3 650 Samsung 19" LCD (8ms) Saitek X-45 HOTAS Track IR 4 CH Pro Pedals :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Sqn_Fudd Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 "Worth" is a personal matter but I would say SLI or Crossfire is not worth it unless you game above 1600x1200... and this is doubly true in LockOn http://3sqn.com/forum/ Here's to 1.13 -- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0488djMDBU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4c Hajduk Veljko Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Enjoy! SLI doesn't work for Lock On, but Crossfire does.I am buying parts for my new computer. How does Lock On benefits from crossfire? Any links with Lock On fps testing in crossfire? My monitor will be 1920 X 1200 and I am planning to get 8800GTS (640mb) for my build.

*Rage* Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 In LockOn, that's the reason to get it. You can have 14X AA with two 1950s in cross-fire. Beware though...it'll spoil you. All other levels of FSAA will make you sick after you have seen 14X, even at 1600X1200 and above. All this, and no noticeable degradation to FPS in LOMAC, it just looks MUCH sweeter now. :D But apart from running 14aa and image quality is there any fps difference between one 1950 and 2 in xfire?? Is there a diffference if running on an obscenely large monitor at high resolutions between xfire and single card?

fretwear Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 Hey Iquana, I got the second card coming in this week. :punk: I'm hoping there won't be too many 'birthing pains' with the new gear hehe. :) --------------------- FX 55 Sandy@ 3.03 GHz Tuniq Tower 120 DFI Lanparty CFX 3200-DR/G (2X) X1950XTX Crossfire@ 695 core 2048 OCZ PC 3200 Platinum (2-3-2-5) Antec TP3 650 Samsung 19" LCD (8ms) Saitek X-45 HOTAS Track IR 4 CH Pro Pedals :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretwear Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 Iguana, yeah but I'm installing a new mobo too. The DFI board I'm putting in isn't supposed to be the easiest build but I wanted it so I can overclock my FX-55 to the max. My current ASRock mobo that I got for cheap has voltage issues and being a 20 pin board, it doesn't seem to supply the PCIe slot with enough juice during high cpu overclocks. EDIT: My Lanparty CFX3200 mobo just came in...ahhh this thing looks sweet. :smoke: EDIT: My X1950XTX Crossfire Edition card is here muahahahaaaaa :punk: --------------------- FX 55 Sandy@ 3.03 GHz Tuniq Tower 120 DFI Lanparty CFX 3200-DR/G (2X) X1950XTX Crossfire@ 695 core 2048 OCZ PC 3200 Platinum (2-3-2-5) Antec TP3 650 Samsung 19" LCD (8ms) Saitek X-45 HOTAS Track IR 4 CH Pro Pedals :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odin_Norway Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Sorry for bringing up this old thread, but I am not to impressed so far with my two x1950 in crossfire setup. What are your settings? 1 Oдин Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
