1. not worth it
2. yes it is possible to CF with HD2600XT

nope. can be different card. CF is not as picky as nV's SLI.

IMO it's not worth to CF 2600..

ok found it. not much details la.
can give you 3dmark06 scores (it nearly doubled) but it's pointless cos it doesn't say anything about gaming.
CF is also limited, some games like Frontlines : FOW doesn't support CF.

@goldfries
if we running two different card,there must be a master and a slave,so the primary card has to be the faster one or the slower one?
example liek 2600XT and 2600pro,the XT on pri or the pro on pri?

i dont think it matters though, since the faster card sure will follow the slower card's speed
unless PCI-E bandwidth difference...

For example AX78
1st PCIE X16 and the second one is X4 (bandwidth)
If I put HD2600PRO at the first one and HD2600XT at the second PCIE, How does it perform?
and how about if I put HD2600XT at the first PCIE slot...

Jul 24 2008, 12:44 AM
i will put the XT at first slot if i am u
second hand 3850 can be found at around rm350 i think. if got ppl ,i might sell mine

why no second hand value?
is it because of HD4850
I think HD3850 512 still have value

. but 256mb

so no need master card
and there is no master card for hd2000 series and above in the market
AceCombat
Jul 25 2008, 08:35 AM
yeah i knwo that it has no master card,
but how's the clock speed of both card if like that,
that's mean the slower card has to overclock itself to catch up the faster one or the faster one has to downclock to catch up the slow one?

Should be the 2nd. Faster one will synchronize w the slow one.
