Dont be confused ... is not because you got an cfx rig of 2x 1gb cards that you got 2 gb system... in crossfire only the memory of 1 card is actualy used ... |

I've also been wondering, if I get CrossFire, will I need to connect two DVI cables to my monitor? | |

Actual crossfire configurations are like an normal videocard... the master card is used for display and calculations and the second only for calculations... | |

Because in those old posts it said you couldn't just buy two of the same graphics cards, that you had to make sure that one was a "master card" and the other was a "slave card". | |

No... now you dont have the master card at 900$ ... you can buy 2 simple 4850 and it will work ... with the inside dongle... the external cable plugged to the 2 1st dvi plugs dont exist anymore... | |

for those speaking of gta4, with cmd line restrictions remover u get weird stuff like textures not apearing on time, and so on, game becomes full of bugs, and thats what lacking of vram is, theres a way to make it use high quality textures and everything else on high without bugs, but then it takes a HUGE performance hit, for my system it was like 50fps to 20. | |
