MetalX said:You don't need a crossifre edition card for X1600s. But thats not all that reassuring. The reason you don't need one is that the cards transfer such a small amount of data between each other that it can be done over the PCI-E bus. Even dual 6600GTs in SLI transfer more than that. Basically, while having 2 cards (however crappy they may be) does give you bragging rights to a certain extent, for $200 (or a little more) you could have a card that beats both of them put together.
