Does anyone know if this card will support CrossfireX with my onboard gpu? i Have an ASUS M4A785-M Motherboard. Thank you in advance.

I use an onboard GPU (or APU) and the graphics card, i ran APU and GPU V.S. Them working together, i got [nearly] same score in two different benchmarks, i would say get a CPU and a dedicated GPU.

I have the Gigabyte AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gbps USB 3.0 ATX DDR3 1600 Motherboards GA-970A-DS3P motherboard and 2 of these GPU's for CrossFireX. It was a huge differance. With one these cards i was getting upper 80's+ in games like Outlast, GTAIV, Euro Truck Simulator, Arma 2, Dayz mod for Arma 2 operation arrowhead, and this was with all high settings except GTAIV were i had to just turn down the render distance from 100 to 76. Now with 2 of these running CrossFireX theres no stopping me. It is definently worth it.

Yes, this card can be used in Crossfire. If I were you I would get 760 Ti or the most powerful single GPU you can afford rather than going with a dual-card setup. I used to have two of these in Crossfire and the drivers weren't very good. Both of the cards functioned fine, but waiting for games to support Crossfire was a pain. I sometimes waited three months before games would run properly.

crossfire means that you can use two same graphics cards and via crossfire bridge you can combine their power,its not supported on this card though

From the Gigabyte website: Multi-display support with AMD CrossFire Flexible graphics capabilities - Up to 2 VGA cards are supported for 2 way AMD CrossFire (running at x16, x4 bandwidth), delivering the ultimate in graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution.

Michael Kimiti, This system is currently shipping with a Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P motherboard, which does support CrossFire.

Did you mean crossfire? Although there's no bridge connector provided, I'm given to understand that R9 290 cards are crossfired via the pcie ports itself. Please clarify this through google. Moreover, R9 290X should be crossfired with R9 290X and not R9 290 for best results. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, according to the ATI Crossfire compatibility charts on the AMD website these two cards are too far apart to be successfully Crossfired. Your R9 card can only be hooked up with another R9 or an R7 graphics card.

I'm not sure about the mobo, but pretty much any mobo supporting PCI-E should be fine, unless you want to do crossfire, which naturally requires dual pci ports. The card is a bit lengthy, but so long as your case is has enough room to accomodate a 12.7 inch card it should suffice (the case you mentioned is overkill imo). You won't regret buying this card...I have it running on a power saving profile and it runs all current games butter smooth. Worth every penny.

4X150 Watt 8-pin PCI Express power connector is required for CrossFireX™ system. Seems to me your psu is good enough.

No because this is an nvidia cards crossfire will only work with 7950s but the video ram can be different and the brand can as be different but it is best to pair identical cards

I'm currently running my 990EX board with Crossfire using 3x HD 6950 unlocked to 6970's. I'm also O.C. the FX6300 from stock 3.5ghz to 4.7ghz using a Cooler Master GT V6 cooler. Originally I bought the board and had 2 GTX 480's in SLI both are pretty stable and I've had little to no problems with any of the ASRock boards I've purchased. I have a ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 board as well running a i7 2700k in it and that board is very stable I have the 480's running in SLI on that board now since that board doesn't have 3 PCI-e slots Personally I think dollar for dollar the ASRock is a better board not to mention support for Asus is not that good.

Greetings, good question, honestly I can not answer it because I dont have much experience with SLI / CrossFire, and I dont want to give a mediocre response (sorry) but as far I know, You need the same video card, same model, to do the SLI or CrossFire.

A graphics card can be added in crossfire with the integrated graphics of the APU. Though realize, its recommended to add a card only if its near equivalent to the APU's GPU performance - as adding a card for crossfire will downgrade and match the performance of APU's GPU. an APU may not handle a very powerful card to begin with, and could possible cause damage if attempted.

It uses CrossfireX, and you won't need any connector piece for it. Nowadays its handled purely by software. Just select "enable crossfirex" and you're running both your cards!

Yes you can run crossfire with the Sapphire 7870. Just make sure you put the fastest card in the first slot and the slower card in the second slot. It is always best to use two identical cards when running multiple GPUs. Hope this helps.

No, you need a 2nd, exact same card, Sapphire 7870 gHz edition oc to crossfire

When running in SLI the two 16X slots will run at 8X which is fine since it won't bottleneck even at that speed. However the third slot runs at 4X which would cause a timing problem as far as know. I never run Cross-Fire or SLI. I just buy the fastest single card and go that route due to micro- stuttering. Steven Level
