Crossfire works without a mastercard on X1600 and X1300's

Post by Apoptosis »

Sources close to ATI have confirmed that you won't need an X1600 master card to use two of these cards in Crossfire! You can just plug two normal cards in and you will be fine. IT also works with two X1300 cards. It also seems that ATI canceled the Radeon X1600 PRO master cards, as you simply don’t need them.

Here is a link showing two X1300's running in Crossfire mode
