CrossFire: Twice the Fun
With the purchase of a X1600 CrossFire Edition card, your X1600 can be upgraded to take advantage of ATI's CrossFire technology, giving you twice the power to throw at the most demanding games. Based on the same technology used with ATI-based commercial flight simulators, CrossFire soars into a new dimension of graphics capability with multiple graphics processing units (GPUs) working together in your PC. With two X1600 cards installed in your PCI Express-based PC, you can choose from three operating modes. First, Alternate Frame Rendering mode balances GPU tasks between the two cards for optimum performance. There's also a multiple load-sharing Scissor mode for compatibility with all games, as well as a Supertiling mode that divides the screen into multiple sectors that are selectively targeted by the two GPUs, offering the best load balancing between them. Note that to take advantage of CrossFire your computer must have a motherboard that is CrossFire-ready. The Radeon Xpress 200 CrossFire Edition and Intel i955X based dual-slot motherboards are supported platforms.

Thougths after over a year using..........2007-07-26
I had originally tried a cheeper ati card, the 1300 i believe, which had worked fine with games but my benchmark was the visualizer on itunes at high resolution. The 1600 has enough power to display the complex animations without skipping frames most of the time at 1280X1024. (My pc is an hp p4 3 gig machine). I had also discovered later that if i wanted to upgrade to a 30" monitor i could because this card has two video outputs, a definate bonus.
The only drawbacks i have found are that the fan goes on high when playing games, and have had a crash from the video card, once maybe every 6 months. I have a feeling it is related to my fiddling with the settings for overclocking the chip in the software that is given. I don't recommend overclocking the video card for that reason and to ati's credit they do warn of some possible problems by overclocking it.
ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 512 MB PCI Express -- cool.......2007-05-15
I bought this to work with my new computer so that I could play games like neverwinter nights and hero's of might and magic. It was cheaper than having the graphics card put in the computer and it works great.
Great for gaming!!!.......2007-03-29
All I use my computer for is pretty much gaming and this graphics card runs them all flawlessly. I would suggest this card to anyone looking for a nice gamer... Though kinda costly cmpared to some of the others.

Not Worth The Money.......2007-03-08
Nothing special about this video card. My old nvidia 6150 did okay, the only thing was that i couldnt turn up the graphics/antilaising/animorph up. I only saw some improvments. I play alot of Counterstrike source, and with this card, it looked better but ran somewhat laggy even when settings were set low, and even at 800x600, still lagged a bit. I have a 2.5mghtz dual core, with 2gigs of ram, so my system shouldnt have any problems running this thing. Im going to return it and spend the extra 80 bucks for a decent card. Dont waste your time and money with this junk. You'll just spend more money if your trying to get a decent gaming experience on the long run.
Faster video memory.......2007-01-23
It was needed for the upgrade for Vista. It works as advertised and the price was right.
