ATI Crossfire pictured

WE TOLD you many times before about ATI's way of doing SLI commercially known as Crossfire and now we have a picture of His Majesty the famous dongle and the board itself.

Even though Nvidia US thinks of me as ATI biased, the Canadian firm never showed me this system up and running while every other NDA journalist has seen it at least once, while most grovelly and bum sucking have seen it three times now.

Crossfire will be based on two chipsets - one Pentium 775 read powered with RD400 Northbridge and ATI's SB450 Southbridge. In Crossfire ATI cards works as dual 8X PCIe cards. This board is codenamed Stingray.

The second board is based on Athlon 64 / FX socket for AMD CPUs and using RD480 Northbridge and SB450 Southbridge with dual 8X PCIe cards.

Monsieur Le Dongle will connect to two DVI outs and should provide you with lossless quality, although your wallet will be lighter by a lossful quantity after you've lashed out the money for the stuff. Below, you can see the board, cards and dongle itself.
