In the following block will be released the chipset AMD RD790, which not only will ensure support to PCI express 2.0 and HyperTransport 3.0, but also will propose crossfire operation according to : PCI express x16 + PCI express x16 or four video card according to : 4 X PCI express 8x . It was assumed that motherboard on base of chipset AMD RD790 will be demonstrated in Computex 2007.
Motherboard on base of chipset RD790 has four slots PCI express x16, which work in regime PCI express x8. The central processor athlon 64 X2 5000+ Socket AM2 was supplemented with a pair of modules DDR 2-667. For demonstration purposes they used four video card radeon x1600 pro and as result a quad crossfire system .
Associates note that increase in speed from the use of four video card is negligible. More benefit come from the two additional monitors connection ports (2 port from each card). Thus, in one system it is possible to connect eight monitors . Related Products :
