Default Quad CrossFire works with issues

This weekend is exceptionally exciting as we try out 4 pcs of HD 2600XT, hoping to see it running in Quad CrossFire.

We set it up as per normal, connecting two cards side by side with CF bridges. After which, the driver is installed.

All 4 cards were detected. In advance setup, enabling CrossFire will prompt you, which card should be the slave, it can be 1st, 3rd and 5th. I wonder where did the 5th one comes from (driver is not ready).

Anyway, choosing 1st or 5th leave us a blank screen and we have to reboot the system. Choosing the 3rd gave us a surprise result, the screen flickers a while and all is set. The checkbox is ticked CrossFire enabled.

Futuremark 3DMark05 was tested and we found out the results were .















Lower than using a single card... Looks like the driver 7.8 is not ready to support more than 2 cards. Future drivers should work and we look forward to it. As usual, the above is just an experiment of an non officially announced product. (We are not allowed to post benchmarks)

AMD pressuring Gigabyte and Gigabyte requests us not to (so that they will not get into trouble with the supplies).

From what I know, there might need a connector that interconnects 3 cards.
