Crossfire limited to 1600×1200@60 Hz
The Inquirer are reporting that Crossfire is limited to 1600×1200@60Hz. Crossfire is ATI’s answer to NVIDIA’s SLI. Both technologies allow users to run two graphics cards at once to increase performance. The Inquirer have a two part artile on this. Part one can be found here, and part two here.
It turns out that you cannot set higher refresh rate than 1600×1200 at 60Hz – we were right about that. However, you will be able to use 1920×1200 but you will be limited to 52Hz only. Bothc cases are fine for all TFT users as 60Hz on those displays by some miracle looks very good.
This still will be insuficcient for millions of people who want to own Crossfire and have a good old but big and great CRT display. I don’t plan to throw away my 22-inch CRT capable of 2048×1536 anytime soon and on these displays you kind of want to play at 1600×1200. On an office 19-inch TFT I simply cannot go more than native resolution of 1280×1024 at 60Hz.
