Crossfire Ram

i1yas · Nov 18, 2014

Guys i have a 1080p LED playing games at 1920x1080 with Sapphire HD 7870 dual X factory overclocked and Asus P8H77 VLE..i m going to buy Far Cry 4 but i think 2 gb ram is not enough for Far Cry 4 at 1080p Watchdogs is also i m playing but my able to run at ultra..i have two plans

1: buy one more HD7870 and crossfire it which is quickest way..

2: buy a new latest R9 290 or 295x but i have to first sell old card to it will take some time..

My question..i have read somewhere that crossfire and sli don't double your memory but what are your experience if you need my system info just check my profile..

No adding a second 2 GB card will not increase your VRAM to 4 GB. You will still have 2 GB effective VRAM. If you can save up for a R9 290 or R9 290X then that would be the best thing for graphics intensive games today.

Edit: You can pick up an R9 290 for around $250 plus get 4 free games with it.

Just found this

That review really pointed out how horrible FC4 runs on AMD hardware. I haven't tested it myself, but I hope it's either an over exaggeration or it's being fixed.

Nor Crossfire nor SLI increase Vram when used, your best bet is to get the most powerfull single GPU you can afford.

what do you think about 2 gpu on single pcb type card?is it realy worth to buy?
