My video cards are both "HIS Radeon HD 2600 XT / 256MB GDDR4 / CrossFire Ready / PCI Express / (Dual Link) Dual DVI / HDTV / HDMI (Adapter) / Video Card." I don't know what cables I should buy. What if i have two lesser videocards, like "HIS Radeon X1650 Pro IceQ / 512MB GDDR2 / PCI Express / DVI / VGA / HDTV / CrossFire Ready / Video Card"? can i still hook those two up to my HDTV while still getting 720p or above performance?
How can I hook up two crossfire video cards to my HDTV?
if the 2 cards are running in parallel (like ATi Crossfire bridge or Nvidia Sli) you should see a component running directly between the two that is not part of the motherboard. Im going to assume its the case.
Simple story short: in that setup, you only need 1 HDMI cable to connect to the TV. The cards sound beefy enough to support up to 1080 if you want, to, but there should be a setting in its properties to scale down to 720dpi.
of the 2 cards id pick the one closest to the processer as a matter of habit. it should make no difference.
Also dont go to best buy and buy a Monster Cable: HDMI is a digital signal, so you dont really need to fork and excess $30 for fancy insulation and gold plated connections.
But y'know, a lad with twin GPUs sounds like a bling-head anyway...so go for it. Im just saying you can get HDMI cables that work equally as fine on amazon for $5.
