Crossfire help

[Beerbaron]

I have an XFX Radeon HD6950 flashed to 6970. If my mate was to crossfire this with his HD6950 would this work or would I have reflash my card back to 6950?






Thanks.

Great thanks. I have never setup crossfire before so I assume its just connect the cards and the bridge and then enable crossfire in CCC.

Do I need to install additional drivers as his card is essentially the same and has the drivers already installed?

 

[Beerbaron]

I'm currently using 13.11 (didnt realise 13.12 beta was out ) and assume hes probably using an older version.

So crossfiring will essentially double his GPU power? Is there any downside to this? He wants a cheap upgrade so I thought this was the best option.

Do most new games support crossfire?

BF3, Total War Rome 2, Civ 5, Fallout New vegas, and probably BF4 in Jan.

 

[Beerbaron]

All of those titles have good crossfire support apart from Total War Rome 2 which only has about 15-30% crossfire scaling, if that. Its just a buggy game so don't expect much improvement on that.

Does that mean Rome will just look rubbish? Removal of the card is always an option
