MILAR Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 I have done everything I can think of to get Crossfire to work. From changing boards to PS. Bios updates. Not sure what the problem is. in the ATi control panel I see both cards but never see the crossfire tab , I have Duel slots enalbed with both set to 8x. Only thing I can think of is that the x1800 Crossfire ready card wont work with the x1900 Master card. Is this true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRDNA Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 the cards CAN NOT be MIXED x1800 needs to be paired with a x1800 crossfire edition card andf the same for the X1900 crossfire edition card needs to be paired with a x1900 card. SOrry for the bad news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRDNA Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Do you want to sell one of thoughs cards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILAR Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Well this information would have been nice to know. This is the first I have heard of this. Even after contacting ATI directly they didnt specifiy that. And yes I guess I need to sell the x1800 if it wont work, Really pisses me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 yep, you'll need to match that X1900 Master card to an X1900XT card (thats your best bet anyway) you should be able to get a good deal out of your 1800 to help get a 1900. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRDNA Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 I'll trade you a x1800 master card for your x1900 master card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRDNA Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Or I'll trade you a x1800XT PE and a x1800 master card for both of your cards ? And these babies work goood!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILAR Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 well since the x1800 is less than 2 weeks old Im selling it for 425. I got to looking and they are still going for 450. So what im gathering is that the x1900XT is better for the buck than the x1900xtx. If anyone is interested. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMESE%3AIT&rd=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellasvagabond Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 You tried to pair a X1900 with an X1800 ??? Im not sure but i think the manuals of both your cards must mention that you need to pair two identical cards ( Some even recommend the same brand. ) 425$ is way too much considering you get to find the X1800XT 512 ram for 320-350$ ( PriceGrabber ).

MILAR Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 I changed the price to 325. based it off what they were selling it at Ebay, didnt look at priecegrabber. anyway its changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
