Crossfire Question

[PermenentMarker]

I am confident that it will be fine overall, yet pushing the limits.

What I now run

Phenom 965 @ 3.5Ghz (being replaced this week for 960T (will try to unlock and overclock) (so CPU will be around 125W)

Gigabyte 990XA-UD3

2x4Gigs Ram

1x 500 WD Black
2x 1.5 WD Green

1x Gigabyte Radeon 5850

Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W

The thing is, I have 2 identical Radeon X5850s and I have not bothered installing them both.


Here are my questions.

Would you agree with me that 750W is enough but a little on the limit.
Good overall


I want to know who has a crossfire of 5XXX 6XXX videocards and how it runs in RO2

That is my main question because upon release... Crossfire was a mess.

And what drivers do you guys use ?

170 wattage is added I believe, so 650W should be drawing the line. With 750W, you should be OK.

You'll still have the issues of microstuttering as you would with any multi GPU set up, but you'll still see an overall performance gain.

Agreed, though you may experience some unstabillity with the 650W and some less performance.
