Does CrossFire work with different cards?

CrossFire can be implemented with GPU cards of the same generation, and manufacture (this is compared to Nvidia’s SLI, which generally only works if all cards have the same GPU, and brand). However, GPUs not in the same hundred series cannot be crossfired successfully (e.g. a 5770 cannot run with a 5870).

Can you run dual graphics cards with different cards?

Yes, this can technically work—both cards will give you graphical output. However, different cards cannot be linked together to function as a GPU array (CrossFire or SLI), so you generally won’t be able to use them together to render graphics in games. The cards will operate independently of each other.

How much memory do you need for Crossfire?

Since a dual GPU card is 2-GPU’s in crossfire via a PLX chip why would the rules for memory usage be any different or does the total of 6GB on this card or a card like the ARES II really translate into only 3GB’s usable GDDR5?

What kind of graphics card do I need for Crossfire?

AMD Hybrid CrossFire – In this integrated graphics on the motherboard and discrete graphics card work together in CrossFire. 2-Way CrossFire – In this type, you can run two single GPU graphics cards or one dual GPU AMD Radeon graphics card in CrossFire mode.

What do you need to know about crossfire?

You can look at the compatibility list below of CrossFire graphics cards showing which AMD graphics cards are compatible with another in CrossFire configuration. The other major requirement of Crossfire setup is Crossfire Ready Motherboard or Motherboard that supports CrossFire.

Why are two GPU’s in crossfire on the same PCB?

So, if I understand this correctly, when two GPU’s are in CrossFire on the same PCB via a PLX chip the total vRam is also the effective vRam unlike traditional CrossFire where the effective vRam is equal only to the vRam in one card or in the case that the cards have unequal amounts of vRam, the card that has the least vRam.
