Hi all, i have a problem now ...i just bought x2 pcs Sapphire HD2600 XT and i want install it on my mobo..but i don't know where to buy a crossfire cable for that GC ? And i gonna to know my mobo is M2N32 WS , it is support SLI , but my gc is support crossfire socket..so i can i know that both gc can be bridge on my mobo ????

If your mobo onli support SLI, den SLI only.
Wrong section by the way.

-pWs-

im sorry , i know im wrong section ..i need to get help on technical support area. But i really need help urgent !!~~!!
MOD please move this thread to technical support zone !~

u really dont know the differences between SLI and xfire arrr bro ... its clear that ur mobo is sli only why did u even bought those 2600XT(ancient card) in the 1st place sli only goes with nvidia gpu unless u are using X58 or 55 then u would have both...

hahaha

SLi - nvidia

CFX - Ati

Yaloh, i really don't know the differences between SLI and Xfire...and i just bought a gc and both also is crossfire. I got google about this problem, some website say can hack the driver or bios than can use the Crossfire on SLI board , but some say can't . I think i need to trade the gc with people edi..
hehe..or you have any nice gc for sale ? trade with mine.haha

then sell your mobo and get the one which can support cfx ler bro. You have 2 options either sell your gc or change your mobo.

Here's an even better idea.. Sell off the processor, DDR2 memory and motherboard..

Then get a new processor, DDR3 memory and motherboard that supports both CrossFireX and SLI (usually those X58 and P55)

Next time, can use either CrossFireX or SLI with dual graphic cards (no need to change motherboard)...

X58 and P55 ? How much is it ?

oooi bro lex....recommending to upgrade ???
inho, just get a better gc and sell off those 2600s will be enuff

Let's see..

Cheapest for P55 board support both CrossFireX and SLI is MSI P55-GD65, around RM560 (current favorite for medium budget )

Cheapest for X58 board support both CrossFireX and SLI is MSI X58 Pro-E, around RM680 (has 3 PCIe x16 slots )

If you noticed, he has an SLI board. He also bought 2 graphic card to CrossFireX, which unfortunately is not supported on his board. Most probably TS wants to try multi-GPU setups. I'm suggesting a path where in the future TS will not have any headaches when switching between CrossFireX and SLI.

what i want to ask is,why would you buy 2 2600xt?they are 3 generations behind,totally not worth the money and hassle

the hacking for SLI and crossfire support is something quite long ago, on intel's 9xx chipsets if not mistaken. haven't heard of it being done on the newer chipsets. anyway now newer motherboards have both, no need to hack.

i think TS would be better off trading both cards for a more powerful singe card

yeah... same question.. why the heck u buy 2 pieces of old cards?... it doesnt make sense at all...

myb he get it cheap..

sell both of em and get single 4850/4770 or 4870 is good enough~

or u can sell it all when i9 comeout. then BOOM! break the bank~

TS, my ancient P4 rig is using that HD2600XT. So please consider Lex advice, which is the best option for you.

i9 price rated at USD999 iinm .
almost 4k for the proc itself ?
no thank you .

better try sell those 2 and get cheap low end gc .
single configuration good enough for now .
u won't need SLI or crossfire .

agree with above otaimer decisions...let me make simple...
1..sell gc
2..buy good gc for next future...maybe around 1-2 year(untill end)
3..dont start to do SLI or Crossfire Gc (high cost if u are students,on not on budget)
4..make a reading first about SLi,crossfire,n crossfire-x
5..after u full tank of infomation+money+time+technology alert(important)..then start buying..


have a good time...if me wrong given tips..otaimer correct me yaaa...BB(gotch !!)
