There we have it. Obviously this is not the final bundle from PowerColor. This was a quickly sent out press-kit.

ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB review

The Radeon X1950 Pro has internal dual-link TMDS transmitters. Which means that you can output towards two high-resolution screens up-to let's say 2560x1600 and probably a little higher. Manufacturers are free to integrate dual-link DVI and HDCP support. The Video connector in the middle managed Video in and out, an ATI Rage Theater is integrated for these VIVO capabilities.

Now then, look at the lower left part of the card. You can see two connectors. Yep yep .. Crossfire connectors my friends ! ATI is getting rid of the Y-Dongle cable, which IMO is a tremendous step forward as it also means no more master and slave card configuration of higher end Radeons in the future.

 Much appreciation goes out to ATI for listening to the consumers. I hope to be able to test Crossfire with a "Crossfire" connector for you guys pretty soon. The internal CrossFire connector is expected to ship with the graphics card and be a ribbon type cable, similar to what you have seen already for SLI.
