Can I hook my MSI 7950 up to this on the CrossFire bridge? Or can that only be done with identical cards?

No because this is an nvidia cards crossfire will only work with 7950s but the video ram can be different and the brand can as be different but it is best to pair identical cards
266554
You would need identical cards to do that. You can do two Radeon 7950's from different vendors possibly (Like MSI and Sapphire), but not different model number cards. You especially cannot mix your ATI graphics with the Nvidia graphics card.

No,you can only do that with the identical cards. If you try do that,you will mess up the cards.

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.

You can only SLI with the exact same chipset. Meaning, you need this card, as is, x2 ($1000+) (also you really wouldn't need that for anything, the 780 on its own can do a beast of a job)

Yes. You can run these in crossfire. No cable or extra software required. Two cards will show four cards total displayed in your OS.

This is an AMD card. I think that it can be crossfired, I see a connection near the top left of the product picture. Although I have read somewhere that you will need at least a 650W power supply.

crossfire means that you can use two same graphics cards and via crossfire bridge you can combine their power,its not supported on this card though

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.

This is wrong. It only comes with 1 7970 card. The 2 stands for 2 GB, which is the memory for each graphics card. If it came with 2 7970s, it would say "Crossfire" or "Dual" in the description.

Yep! I bought two and run them in Crossfire with this motherboard: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K23BZVI/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_1

If you look at the board diagram, Yes. The top PCI will be open. The second PCI will be covered by your top 7970 which is a dual slot card. At the very bottom you could use a PCIE to PCI adapter on the bottom PCIE slot (you have 3 PCIE slots) if you really needed, for another PCi card.

yes you can, actually you can crossfire with one better than this card. well a friend told me that.

What would you like to know about a CF set up? I have it set up in CF and my brother has it crossfired with a 7950. Both setups are far beyond optimal graphics with not a single issue yet... coolest crossfired cards I've ever owned.

When i bought this card a few years ago i had a 5850 crossfire and i had no trouble with it, i cant talk about compatibility with newer cards cause i sold it cause i was not using ir, the guy i sold it to changed all preamps and he's more than happy with it

Yes, you can. This MB has Multi-display support with 3 way CrossFireX and 3 way SLI, although you will loose 1 PCIe slot.

Given that MSI did setup the ports, short answer is yes. (please check on MSI site for exact card spec) reference this video on how to setup the connections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf0X0lNFmgw

Yes. AMD Crossfire works between all cards in the same generation. So any 7800 card will work with any other 7800 card, irrespective of make. See thishttp://sites.amd.com/PublishingImages/Public/Graphic_Illustrations/WebBannerJPEG/AMD_CrossfireX_Chart_1618W.jpgMake sure both PCI-E slots on your motherboard are 16X. They should be the same colour.

Yes. And 7970 only has 3GB GDDR5 per card. If you crossfire 2 of them, then you would have 6GB GDDR5 total. The crossfire interfaces are located on top of the 7970 next to the bios switch. Later AMD models like the R9 series can crossfire too, but they do it through the PCIe 3.0 bus. With a PCIe 3.0 bus you have enough bandwidth to not need the crossfire interfaces on top, so there are none.
