    HEXUS can exclusively report that the new ATI driver which is soon to be unleashed will now enable software crossfire up to X1900GT. This means no more hassle in having to find a master card, or an external cable.

    Up to X1900GT, so is X1800XT included in the list?
    Dual Intel Xeon Quad Core 2.66Ghz, 16GB FB-DIMM, FireGL goodness...

    by software, you mean it works over the PCI bus? also, does in still only work on crossfire motherboards? or intel ones too for example? (for when core 2 duo comes out... mmmm). obviously any performance figures keenly anticipated..

    Omg I hope this includes the X1800XT.

    I presume it's the GT range only, but I hope to god the X1800XT is on the list.

    as the X1800XT is EOL it might not be supported...

    any ideas on who will be stocking the HIS X1900GT

    On the other bit of news: How much more expensive is it to put a HIS (or Zalman, etc.) cooler on than a reference cooler. Can't be that much. I'm surprised that those sorts of coolers aren't standard on mid-range and up cards. Guess it comes down to marketing and economics.

    Has anyone got confirmation that the X1800XT will work without a master card etc? I can't find any other information.

    If anyone can find a proper compatability list I'd be very thankful

    I'm very tempted to go for a dual card setup. Still seems ATi have a long way to come to match SLi to me, but this is definetly a step in the right direction.

    Just tried 2 X1900GTs on a 975x Bad Axe mobo with Cat 6.6 beta, I see no Xfire option! Still, we'll have to wait till 6.6 official.

    Well X1900GT xfire is a no go with the 6.6 officials on a 975x Bad Axe mobo, so unless it only works on mobos with 16x2 PCI-E config??????
