nice sounds like im going ati for the rest of my builds and intel chip set thanks alot for the information


what do you mean by the fastest card will only run twice as fast as the slowest card?
does the system overclock the fastest card to be twice as fast as the slowest card?
can the fastest card only run up to twice as fast as the slowest card so bottle necking the card?


sorry if this topic has changed abit sicne the start but i dont wanna spam new topics asking about ati cards and x48 mobos

I believe that just means that if you had two mismatched cards, the performance will not exceed two times that of the slower card.

So if you had a 3850 and a 3870, the performance will be no more then having two 3850's. So it can be done (having two different cards), but it's pointless having a high end card and a slower card.
