ATI has been particularly quiet regarding CrossFire since their launch at Computex back in June. I assumed that we wouldn't see CrossFire boards and cards until August or September at the earliest, and it's really starting to look like that's going to be the case. But I'm not here to talk about CrossFire availability, I'm here to talk about performance.

There have been a number of CrossFire previews published all over the net, including our benchmarks from Computex. But what truly caught my attention was the tests over at HKEPC that showed two X700 cards working in CrossFire mode with nothing more than a simple BIOS update, no master card needed.

Something about that just didn't make much sense; ATI went through all the trouble to stick a compositing chip on these CrossFire master cards, and all you really need is the BIOS from a master card? So we did some digging and Wesley actually discovered the truth behind current CrossFire performance.

這實在是非常有趣的消息,尚待後續確認.
