VIVO: Video In Video Out - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crossfire is a way you can have two ati cards in one system linking together your probably better off getting one decent card rather than two half decent cards.

Check out the benchmarks again and put in them cards. I will have a look for you and give you my opinion.

With the benchmarks I'm leaning towards the 7600GT SLI. The 3rd one on the list. What do you think of that one? Also what is the SLI about, and where does it connect?

SLI is the equivalent of ATI's Crossfire where you need two cards to use the technology.

GarHar will agree with me in saying that theres no point in getting sli setup as you will get better performance from one card for the price of the two.

What is the setup exactly? So should I go with something that is not SLI? Or get SLI but not use SLI setup?
