Ive got 2 ATI Radeon 2900XT's and they both come with a Black Box bundle password each.

When they are released i'll be able to HL2:EP2, Portal and Team Fortress 2 (Black Box Bundle) for FREE, TWICE!!

Right then, Imitation wicker.

Which 2900XT's did you get? I have just been offered my old second job, which i lost after my latest driving escapade, so will get getting an extra couple hundred quid a month, so now is the time to get my hands on the DX10 card and make myself happy - so.. what did you go for? I'm edging towards getting the 1gb card, and not worrying about crossfire?

anyone else got any input?

ATI Radeon 2900XT's dont need a Master/Slave setup, their Crossfire 'Native'. They connect to each other with 2 Crossfire bridges and Crossfire is enabled via CCC- thats it.

I wouldnt mind getting 2 x 1GB 2900XT's, but that means alot of fecking about on ebay and using up alot of spare time i dont have.

Im looking foward to using ATI Overdrive in Crossfire too. keep ya posted when my new build is up and running.

Aegia PhysX- funny you mention that. In Crossfire. one card does rendering, other card does physics. Not alot of games use the Aegia PhysX yet, but that'll change in the near future.

As far as the benefits go of the 1GB 2900XT goes; i think by looking at the specs, its better than a 768MB 8800 Ultra- thought the 8900 might give it a good run.

Not planning on Crossfire'ing the two cards just yet as i said, the 975x motherboard i have will only run pci-E in 2 x 8 - would that work with the HD2900 in Crossfire.

Not going to AMD as i don't understand the clock speeds

and i already have a cpu lol

I've checked the Crossfire certified parts and your board must be a MSI 975X Plat. which means two 2900XT's WILL work in Crossfire without any problems.
