Although both ATI Radeon graphics cards HD 2900 XT and ATI Radeon 2600 XT have adequate performance for the price they must pay for them, neither of these two tiles are not dealt first place in terms of computing power in its segment. But ATI, AMD i.e. branch of the company responsible for building graphics cards, has the solution. It is a multiprocessor technology CrossFire.

Over the years a solution based on multiprocessor technology serve the highest market segments, not intended for ordinary mortal, who did not have a concept of what may be the price of this combination, energy consumption, whether the level of emitted heat. However, it is the largest end-users have the ambition to be at home as soon as possible graphics designed to calculate the three-dimensional world. As you can see in this year multiprocessor graphics will be crucial for ATI, which decrease as yet their significance in the market designed for the masses. The company does not want to compete with NVIDIA and its GeForce 8800 Ultra graphics cards using ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT, but with the GeForce 8600 GTS thanks dwuukładowej card Radeon 2600 XT.

ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT is not at this time a clear advantage over NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS, especially if we compare their performance in games and three-dimensional benchmarkach. Thus, in order to win and defeat mainstreamowy product NVidia, AMD, many of the partners, including GeCube, Sapphire, as well as others, will offer graphics cards based on the dual systems.
They will consist of two chips and ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT, which will be coupled with each other in CrossFire configuration. Everything in order to accelerate the calculation of three-dimensional world. So-called plate image Gemini Radeon HD 2600 XT will be sold in the suggested retail price of 190 U.S. dollars to 250 dollars.

Multiprocessor systems graphics performance fully depends on the drivers, which should include profiles for almost every game, so you could show the difference in productivity in relation to jednoukładowych graphics solutions. What’s more, dwuukładowe cards may be incompatible with some motherboards.

NVIDIA Corporation has in the past year has shown its vision dwuukładowego product in the form of GeForce 7950 GX2 cards, which offer the highest performance available on the market.

Unfortunately, as unfortunately for the users of such products, their support at the present time, the company operates in the market to its GeForce 8 series, is simply a little. Very rarely appear in updating drivers for Windows XP and patches for potential problems with drivers for Windows Vista.
