Seems like a good deal to me, but good enough to beat out intel is the question on everyone's minds now.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Josh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 13th 2007 10:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ATI demonstrates hybrid-chip CrossFire graphics tech]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/ati-demonstrates-hybrid-chip-crossfire-graphics-tech/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/ati-demonstrates-hybrid-chip-crossfire-graphics-tech/</guid><description><![CDATA["We've seen already seen.."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[darren]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 13th 2007 10:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ATI demonstrates hybrid-chip CrossFire graphics tech]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/ati-demonstrates-hybrid-chip-crossfire-graphics-tech/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/ati-demonstrates-hybrid-chip-crossfire-graphics-tech/</guid><description><![CDATA[...but will it play crysis?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 13th 2007 10:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ATI demonstrates hybrid-chip CrossFire graphics tech]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/ati-demonstrates-hybrid-chip-crossfire-graphics-tech/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/ati-demonstrates-hybrid-chip-crossfire-graphics-tech/</guid><description><![CDATA[OMG Enough!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mobius_1]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 13th 2007 11:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ATI demonstrates hybrid-chip CrossFire graphics tech]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/ati-demonstrates-hybrid-chip-crossfire-graphics-tech/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/ati-demonstrates-hybrid-chip-crossfire-graphics-tech/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm ashamed of myself.<br><br>Sorry for posting that - never again.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 13th 2007 11:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ATI demonstrates hybrid-chip CrossFire graphics tech]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/ati-demonstrates-hybrid-chip-crossfire-graphics-tech/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/ati-demonstrates-hybrid-chip-crossfire-graphics-tech/</guid><description><![CDATA[To answer your question, yes, but only in resolution 1024x768 with anti-aliasing turned off and detail level set to low.

A lot of mobos these days come with integrated graphics, and most low to mid level retail desktops (Dell, HP, Acer, etc...) use integrated graphics cards.  If these cards can fit in the confinces of a laptop, the designs could probably leveraged to integration.  It could give them a nice little boost in performance.  And for those of us who build our own systems for personal use, it would make it easier and cheaper to build a second box...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[OddManOut]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 14th 2007 1:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ATI demonstrates hybrid-chip CrossFire graphics tech]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/ati-demonstrates-hybrid-chip-crossfire-graphics-tech/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/ati-demonstrates-hybrid-chip-crossfire-graphics-tech/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh AMD, why must you spend all your money on developing products to bottom feed off Intel processors and Nvidia video cards.

One of the selling points for SLI and Crossfire is that instead of getting an expensive new card you can theoretically just pop a second card in once they go down in price, but in real life by the time the second card drops in price there's a new card that tends to be more powerful than the two old cards combined, so you might as well just get the newer card.  With this system you can just keep getting midrange cards and keep the last generation card as well for that little extra performance boost.  This is very economical and if ATI can start being competitive in REAL world prices not just MSRP then I'd be sold.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ethan Fahy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 14th 2007 10:50AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
