if both cards are using the same and drivers there should be little compatibility problems between like model cards.

You are better off using identical cards. Make sure you have a good power supply and good case cooling as 2 of these cards create a lot of heat.

hi George this is my first ATI card, and what I have read about crossfire is that they would work fine, though pick your clock rate and power supply wisely, my card can do 1140 stable with premium cooling I have a 3750k overclocked to 4.6 with 8 gig of ram 2 ssd dvd. I made the mistake of using a 700 wat power supply. power failures were frequent don't underestimate what 2 will need.

They will work well, especially if you use the AMD overdrive utility to match memory and GPU clocks, in general there is nothing wrong with mixing cards with the same chipset.... But if you want to squeeze the maximum performance out of a pair of cards, identical models do tend to work best in my experience.

Crossfiring two of these cards will equal a 7970 and the new Catalyst drivers have gotten rid of the microstutter. With the current prices of 7950s 7970s, and 280X units I think I would sell this card and replace it with a newer version unless you can get another one at a great price.P.S. This card will still keep up with all current games without dragging if you have a good rig to support it. Another poster says CF is a good deal if under $250.00. I don't agre, under $130.00 is about right. AMD cards are getting less expensive fast with the mining craze dying out.

Two of them is roughly the same amount of shaders as a 7970 or r9 280x but has less memory and less memory bandwidth. If you can get a second one for less than 250 it's worth it to crossfire in my opinion

Works fine with my sapphire radeon 5770 with 1 gb gddr5 I don't see why it shouldn't. Pick up an aftermarket cooling unit though as some of the newer games have taken me up near 220 degrees farenheit.

Yes, both sli and crossfire is supported as well if you plan to get x2 gtx 770!

When I purchased this graphics card, I had a 500 Watt power supply and had problems getting it to turn on. I replaced it with a 600w power supply and it fixed the problem. You should be good with the 850w power supply but I'm not sure how it will work in crossfire mode. It's a great product and I highly recommend it for prospective gamers

Guys at tom's hardware have done this test. Though not specifically for this card but for this chipset. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-6570-radeon-hd-6670-turks,2925-14.html. I haven't tried a crossfire config because my system allows only pci e slot. Hope this helps.

This card can do a cross fire with an A10 6800K APU. I cross fired this card with the A10 6800K using the GIGABYTE GA-F2A85X-UP4 ATX Motherboard. However, when I installed it, I had to make sure that the UEFI BIOS enabled the GPU in the APU (basically just make sure you keep the integrated graphics enabled). It runs like a champ, it'll run several programs at once without a hiccup, and it plays several games using the high graphics quality settings.

The R9 280X is a rebranded HD 7970 GHz so it is technically possible but not necessarily officially supported. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/63551-will-crossfire-r9-280x-hd-7970-scaling-tested.html R9 280x &lt;-&gt; 7950/7970 R9 270x &lt;-&gt; 7850/7870 YMMV!

Yes it supports both crossfire and sli. It's extremely quite too, can't even hear it at full load

I don't think you will have a problem if you have a recent CPU,motherboard etc, that has been made in the last 4-5 year's. I have a machine that is that old and I am running 2 monitors @ 2560x1600 with no problems running max settings. I do have them in crossfire (2 cards) but you dont get 200% increase from doing so. I think you will have zero problems for awile yet even with new games with this card. I haven't yet ;)

Not sure about your Video card. I am using this APU with a 2GB Radeon HD 6570 in a crossfireX configuration. I would suggest that you go to the AMD site and look for your answer on their forums or ask if you do not find it there.

I've been running my Sapphire Radeon Vapor-X HD 7970 with a Corsair HX750 750W with no issues.

Greetings, good question, honestly I can not answer it because I dont have much experience with SLI / CrossFire, and I dont want to give a mediocre response (sorry) but as far I know, You need the same video card, same model, to do the SLI or CrossFire.
2264207
yes you can, actually you can crossfire with one better than this card. well a friend told me that.
