discussion Crossfire Question

[cul8erppl]

Does anybody know if an HD4860 could crossfire with an HD4870? Or, do cards have to be identical to crossfire? Thanks.

They have to be from the same series, ie: 4850 and 4870.

Therefore, yes you can.

DISCLAIMER: The faster card WILL downclock to the card with the lowest performance.

^^^ Thanks jcmaz!

Yes, so essentially you will be running crossfire of 2 4860s. Not worth it IMHO.

you could just OC the 4860 as much as possible(in your comfort zone ofcorse) so the 4860 doesnt downclock as much

I believe you mean so the 4870 won't downclock as much

Thanks for the correction.
