Well, a few months ago I made my first computer, and I got an ATI Radion x850 crossfire card. I don't have both the cards yet, but I am working at it. I'm looking at the requirements of PSU right now and the ATI card confuses me. The system requirements call for a ATI Radion 850[u]0! So will my computer still run it? I believe it should work, because with just the one card I have now, it runs Black and White Two on full graphics.

I know a lot of questions like this have been asked, but I just wanted to know, so I know if I need to sign up for more lifeguarding days to earn money.

Thanks.

b&w2 runs well on my comp w/ full graphics and my card is terrible. there were a few moments where i would experience lag but that only happened very rarely.

The order for Radeon cards goes something like this:

8000 Series < 9000 Series < X800/X850 < X1300 < X1600 < X1900

So basically, you're well above the minimum requirements.

I was just talking about the series (as in the 1900 series) http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
You could go through each of those and add suffixes to many of them and add in the All In Wonder cards as well, but that list would be rather large and unnecessary http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif
