2x Graphic cards ?

Chrissay · October 2010

Can a computer run 2x graphic card that are not the same models ?
Current one i have : Radeon 5770
Adding another one : Radeon 5870
How much more is it gonna boost my fps by ?
Knowing that i currently have 450fps in 1v1 with the Radeon 5770

Yes , replacing the cpu is better BUT my current CPU is an i7 4ghz so
I dont think i need to replace that , Also have 6 gb ram .

P.S : If you don't know anything , please dont post , thanks.

You REALLY dont need more than 450 FPS.

Not possible to pair up 2 different graphics cards. Both the drivers of both graphics cards will interfere with each other and cause problems. Also, you can not link them in Crossfire or SLI. Don't even think its possible to have 2 graphics cards plugged it and both working.

Respect his post. He said if you don't have a clue don't say a thing.

As far as I know there is no way to run two cards from different series in Crossfire (the card mode, not the game). There would be no reason to have both cards in your system at once unless you were using more than two monitors. That said, replacing the 5770 with the 5870 will certainly increase your framerates, though not necessarily by a huge amount.

Just switch to the 5870

Switch to the other one if it is better, I don't think a PC can run 2 graphic cards, but if they can I think they have to be same model.

I'll tell you for $5 worth of riot points.

You dont need a 5870 for Crossfire, maybe for Crysis but a 5670 will run crossfire 200fps plus if you have a decent Processor.
