NS tested different configurations and have examined the possible bandwidth limitations in using two of these cards on different setups, trying to explore how Cableless Crossfire compares against an X1800GTO paired with a Master card, and how 8X and 16X PCI-E affects Cableless Crossfire.

"Our Crossfire testing proves that two X1800 GTO's, even on an older dual 8x board will still provide good performance. Despite the gains that an X1800 Crossfire Master card setup present, that's hardly a viable solution and should not be considered in place of another X1800 GTO. Hopefully ATI can extend the cableless option across most of their range to make their dual-GPU solution truly competitive with SLI as far as usability goes. While bandwidth would likely be a limiter on higher end boards, any solution ATI can work out that doesn't require the cable will be a bonus to them and the user."
