Hd 3850- 2 x 150each 8800gt - 280 range Thanks ------------------------- AMD 5600+ NZXT Apollo silver ULtra 550w 8600gt Inted C2D E6750 P35 8600gt

Is it true that crossfire takes up some of the memory on the cards and so some games need that memory and framerates are sometimes below single card. ------------------------- AMD 5600+ NZXT Apollo silver ULtra 550w 8600gt Inted C2D E6750 P35 8600gt
