can this card support multiple displays and crossfire?

Yes it does but on nVidia cards multiple cards isn't called crossfire it's called sli this card is ok but it's sooo 2012 you should buy a card that came out this year also I noticed that it doesn't have enough memory to max out max Payne max Payne requires a lot of memory so it's best to buy a card with 4 gb of memory instead of 2.

Absolutely! Every review I've seen says that 2560x1440 runs perfectly on it. As for crossfire, I assume you mean SLI? If so, then yes! Card is awesommeeeeee
1980837
Yes, I use multiple displays. For crossfire, it should support, I see plug-in on card and cable line for that.

It supports at least 3 displays and while Crossfire is for ATI video cards, but yes you can put two of them in the same machine, though even just one of these cards runs any game at the max settings. But you may need more than one if you use all 3 displays in HD on the same game.

From the Gigabyte website: Multi-display support with AMD CrossFire Flexible graphics capabilities - Up to 2 VGA cards are supported for 2 way AMD CrossFire (running at x16, x4 bandwidth), delivering the ultimate in graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution.

Correction, you're tying to run both? Why? This card has dual screen capability, you shouldn't need the other card at all.

yes, you can cross fire any 2 7970's, but the faster card will be throttled down to match the slower one and will only use the amount of ram on the smaller card.

Unfortunately the current version of this computer does not support Crossfire. We are working on an edition that does but it is quite cost-prohibitive.

no, crossfire only works in its own performance class. IE. 77xx,78xx,79xx. also in a crossfire situation the faster card will run slower to match the other card. I recommend matching the cards exactly to prevent BSODS and any other weird instances.

This should work fine, yeah. Your board supports ATI Crossfire (I'm not sure about nVidia SLI) so if you ever want to go multi-card, you might not be able to do so with this board. If you're going to stick with single card, though, this should be fine.

The motherboard supports 16x/16x SLI or Crossfire and quad 8x mode for quad SLI/Crossfire. The only limitation of being able to handle multiple video cards will be your Power Supply if you run cards that are power hungry. Having different cards controlling different displays is something Windows controls. Also many cards these days come with multiple video out ports so you can drive more than one display off a single card. As with all motherboards there is a option to select which display adapter as your primary boot display. This won't affect things once it gets to Windows. ASrock is pretty responsive, you can contact them if you must, but this feature has been around for well over a decade now. It'll work.

Absolutely. You can still crossfire with cards from different manufacturers, and even cards that are similar in performance but are completely different models.
1690947
no it will only support one of them, because it only supports crossfire but you can use a single one.

This card can support 4 monitors, but you have to use the two DVIs, the display port, and HDMI ports to hook them up. I hope this helps!

If you are replacing your current card, any X16 GPU slot will work, you can find what your motherboard supports and base off of that. If you are trying to Crossfire this graphics card with another card, check the AMD support page to find out.

Yeah, you should be able to crossfire it with a different manufacturer's card as long as it's a 7970. The clock/memory speeds will be set to the same for both cards, but it should work fine.

Yes, but remember each will get a piece of the processing power from the GPU. It is better to run a video card for the these purposes. You can get a decent mid range card for under a hundred bucks. Another consideration is that unless you lower the resolution on HDMI and DVI to that of VGA, your resolution will be inconsistent. This is very annoying when trying to work with multiple screens.

If you want to crossfire the gpu's then I would not recommend this power supply. If you are only running one gpu then this power supply would definitely suit your needs.

Well, if you ran the two in Crossfire mode, you could theoretically run them at twice the speed of just using one. I'm not sure that you will get twice the speed in the real world but you certainly will see a big boost, at least from the applications that can take advantage of two Radeons in Crossfire.

I'm not sure I quite understand your question. But if you are asking if the card can crossfire with a processor that has integrated graphics, like core i5 or core i7's (or the opposing amd chips if any) I would say probably not. Crossfire was made specifically for use between two or more compatible graphics cards. However, since the processor you're talking about is made by the same company that designed the architecture of this card, I wouldn't completely rule out the possibility. You should ask tech support for the card or an online forum, as others likely know more than I.
