it will owrk both thier own speed as shown by one of the posters you should be all set..

I think some poeple need to expriment with crossfire

that it OP?

 

[Schizo]

thats the one but 512mb and not 1gb.

 

[gareth170]

ahh i have no need to expirment than

how much higher may I ask?

1 was 625/993 & other 650/1000.. i've also tryed oc 1 to 745/1100 & other at stock and both cards still ran at they own clocks.

 

[dr4g0nf1y]

yeah! sorry

We were posting to quickly and explained as I was typing

Other thing obviously you need to make sure you have another 6pin for power

and what psu is it?

 

[Schizo]

ive got a antec p190 with the duel psu's so enough power

 

[feeddagoat]

wrong..

both cards run at they own speed.

I always thought both cards overclocked/underclocked and ran at the same speeds, usually the speed of the one in the first slot

and what psu is it?

if it has a second 6pin the psu should be fine with it, it's only if it didn't then you'd need to see if it can power it, if it does then you'd need a molex converter

nope, i think SLI does.

well my crossfire doesn't. even when i had a x1600xt/x1650pro in crossfire they ran at they own speeds, also when i had 2 HD2600

nope.

what if it was a cheap 600w psu that costs £30 that as 2 6pins or even 1 6+2pin & 1 6pin

*edit* crossfire bridges normally come bundled with the card were did you get this second asus card? and is it OEM?

and no they are basicly the same, I belive well they better be >_>

i didnt get a crossfire bridge with my 1st card and it wasn't a oem card.

You should have received a Crossfire bridge with the first card.

I don't think you can get them off-the-shelf, either. Shouldn't really be a problem in terms of practicality, though - Crossfire should work just fine with one or two of the bridges.

Insert the card into hte second slot, stick on the Crossfire Bridge connector to either of the headers provided (and match them up on the other card, obviously), and then boot into Windows as normal.

You'll get CCC asking you if you want Crossfire enabling and youshould then click for your required outcome.

I would have thought the motherboard manual would have had all this in?

Sorry but i have to dash so no time to fully read all the posts .................

My crossfire, 2x4890's ...........

I found using 2 bridges to connect cards with mon running from lower of the cards gave me higher benchies

This was after testing all bridge/output configs

If it's been posted earlier then ignore

how long for??

not all psu's are the same.

 

[AMG]

I bet the powersupply didn't like ?

as for SLI its only the same card type for example 9800GTX++ with a GTS250 (same chip)

not much of a clock difference between the two depending which you get
