Adding an HIS IceQ boost 7950 with a GIgabyte 7950

[Gtiracer]

How would the clocks on the Ice Q react if I put one with an overclocked Gigabyte Windforce.

Would the Boost clocks automatically be matched to the overclocks of the Gigabyte settings or would the boost function interfere?

Or would both cards just default to the lowest clock speeds of one of the cards

Or are they just not compatible because one is boost and one is not?


Thanks for any help

both cards just default to the lowest clock speeds of one of the cards, unless over clocked to the same level.

Definately use the HIS as GPU1, the design of the shroud suits more enclosed spaces in comparison with the WF.

Would an MSI afterburner profile just completely overwrite the boost profile anyway though and apply to both cards?

The cards each run at their own speed.

CrossFire has worked like that for as long as I can remember.

You can always overclock and match the speeds if you wish.

Surely to run in crossfire they both have to run at the same speed? Or not?

Not.

Not.

Fair enough, I always thought this was the case.

Thanks

No problem.

A while ago I tried it myself for the doubters.

You can run the cards at different speeds.

Not.

+1.

You can run them at whatever speed although I personally believe you've got less chance of microstuttering by running at the same speed.

Nothing scientific in that though!
