ATI HAS a new Crossfire interface. We already wrote about it but we can add that you will be able to buy it starting from October 17th.

That is the launch date of long-delayed Radeon X1950 PRO a chip that you used to know as RV570.

The suggested retail price should sit between $229 and $249 but we are sure it will drop fast to $199. The cards have new dual-rail Crossfire interface where the cards can send and receive data at the same time. Using the rival SLI, you have to send, wait and receive data but cannot do both at the same time.

Honestly, I might dislike ATI cards but that X1950 Pro in Crossfire on a new Conroe PC would just be... Smoking!
