Can you Crossfire different brands?
Yes they will work in crossfire.
Can you use two different brands of graphics 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.
Does crossfire work with different cards?
The answer is a resounding no, it will not crossfire. They have to be the same GPU to be able to crossfire, though cut down versions can work with non or differently cut down versions.
Do Crossfire cards have to be identical?
No, you do not, HOWEVER, all characteristics are set to the lesser of whatever each card has, including clocks and amount of VRAM.
Can you run 2 different graphics cards without SLI?
Yes, you can run dual non-SLI or crossfire graphics cards. They don’t even have to be both Nvidia or both AMD to work. You can even run both integrated graphics and a discreet graphics card together in a non-SLI or non-Crossfire configuration. What you CAN’T do is use them BOTH for gaming.
Can you SLI 2 different GPUs?
You cannot sli 2 different graphics cards. ATI/AMD cards are a bit more relaxed with crossfire, but Nvidia is very strict on this.
Can I use AMD and NVIDIA cards together?
Generally speaking, you can run both NVIDIA and AMD cards on the same PC or rig. But keep in mind that you have to install two different drivers for both manufacturers and this is a potential stability issue that should be taken into consideration and avoided if possible.
Are there any AMD graphics cards that support Crossfire?
Here is the list of all desktop graphics cards from AMD that supports CrossFire technology. Update: AMD has officially ended their brand CrossFire for multi-GPU configurations. Now it will be called multi-GPU or mGPU and just like Nvidia, newer graphics cards from AMD will only support 2-way multi-GPU setup.
What do you need to know about CrossFireX?
Well, it’s about as cool as the rest of the CrossFire technology, which isn’t saying too much. In essence, Hybrid CrossFireX enables multi-GPU support for different type graphics cards. So, for example, it allows a motherboard-integrated graphics card to link up with a discrete GPU.
What’s the difference between AMD CrossFire and SLI?
Thank you for supporting the work I put into this site!) CrossFire is a multi-GPU technology from AMD which allows you to run a maximum of 4 GPUs on a single motherboard. It is very similar to the Nvidia’s SLI multi-GPU technology in many aspects.
Can a Radeon HD 5870 be used as a crossfire card?
Pairing a Radeon HD 5870 with an HD 5850 or an HD 5830 works fine, though. Whether this makes sense is debatable, given that a CrossFire configuration is at best only twice as fast as its weakest card.
