Can I CrossFire different brands?

Yes they will work in crossfire.

Do graphics cards have to be the same for CrossFire?

CrossFire can be implemented with GPU cards of the same generation, and manufacture (this is compared to Nvidia’s SLI, which generally only works if all cards have the same GPU, and brand). So a 5800 series GPU (e.g. a 5830) can run together with another 5800 series GPU (e.g. 5870).

Can you CrossFire with different cards?

The answer is a resounding no, it will not crossfire. They have to be the same GPU to be able to crossfire, though cut down versions can work with non or differently cut down versions.

Why do the same GPU have different brands?

The difference between brands of the same GPU is simply the company that put the GPU chip onto their PCB and slap their cooler on.

Can you use 2 different brands of GPU?

YES. You can SLI those 2 different GPU brand models. As long as the base specs of the cards match, like e.g. CUDA Cores, they will work in SLI mode.

Can you mix two different GPUs?

Yes, this can technically work—both cards will give you graphical output. However, different cards cannot be linked together to function as a GPU array (CrossFire or SLI), so you generally won’t be able to use them together to render graphics in games. The cards will operate independently of each other.

Does the GPU brand matter?

If two cards from the same NVIDIA or AMD product line are of the same model, and they can fit inside your computer’s case and plug into your motherboard, there’s not going to be a huge difference in how they make your games look.

Which GPU manufacturer is best?

According to a survey published on Ranker.com, Nvidia is regarded as the best GPU manufacturer, followed by AMD….Here’s the top 10 GPU manufacturers according Ranker’s list:

• Nvidia.
• AMD.
• Asus.
• Intel.
• EVGA.
• Gigabyte.
• Sapphire.
• Zotac.

Are there any AMD graphics cards that support Crossfire?

Here is the list of all desktop graphics cards from AMD that supports CrossFire technology. Update: AMD has officially ended their brand CrossFire for multi-GPU configurations. Now it will be called multi-GPU or mGPU and just like Nvidia, newer graphics cards from AMD will only support 2-way multi-GPU setup.

What do you need to know about CrossFireX?

Well, it’s about as cool as the rest of the CrossFire technology, which isn’t saying too much. In essence, Hybrid CrossFireX enables multi-GPU support for different type graphics cards. So, for example, it allows a motherboard-integrated graphics card to link up with a discrete GPU.

When did Nvidia come out with Crossfire?

In 2004, Nvidia was the first to market this idea with their SLI (Scalable Link Interface) technology and AMD followed suit in 2005. However, the biggest drawback of either technology persisted and eventually led to their demise.

Can a HD 5750 be used with Crossfire?

However, the cards need to be from the same series so, for example, an HD 5750 card could be successfully configured to run with an HD 5770, With this cool-sounding name, this has to be something good, right?
