Crossfire with AMD Radeon HD 7770 1GB GDDR5

Red Snow · Jul 1, 2012

Hi

My comuter specs are: AMD AM3+ FX-4100, 95W

Kingston DDR3 1333MHz 8GB KIT CL9

Corsair SSD Force Series 3, 120GB 2.5"

Sapphire Radeon HD7770 1GB GDDR3 PCI-E

Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3, Socket-AM3+

Sony DVD±RW AD-5280S-0B BLACK/SATA

Silver Power SP-SS500 500W PSU

Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus Midi Tower

Windows 7 Home Premium

Do i need to upgrade anything to buy another Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 Card and set the cards in crossfire?

Is it hard to install it and connect the cards together with a crossfire bride?

Do i for example need to upgrade my power supply?

I'm not familiar with your PSU, but it looks to have enough pci-e cablesfor 2x 7770s. (you'll need 2x 6pin pcie). Problem is your mobo looks to support x16,x4 which is not ideal for crossfire.

When I crossfired my rig all I did was shut it down. Installed the second card with the bridge. Fired it back up and let it find the second card. Then went into the Cat. center and made sure crossfire was enabled. That is all there was to it. Has worked flawless since.

I'd rather sell the 7770 you already have and buy something like a 7850 instead .

Indeed that's all you need to do, given you have the hardware requirements

Ok, thanks for the answears

I think i'd rather replace it with a more powerful card, like the 7850 or something.

I've now found a graphic card ( Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 ) and i were wondering if my psu supports it. In the website below u can see the specs for the grapic card and my psu. The website is norwegian, but the specs and stuff is in english.

Nice card.

Only real concern it is recommended to have a 500W power supply. Yes you have a 500W power supply but it's not the best quality.

It'll be fine. No it's not a Platinum Ultra Gold Corsair unit, but it's more than ok. I've run a similiar system with a 5770 (equal with the 7850) with that PSU and it worked like a charm.

So, the PSU is fine.

Red Snow · Jul 3, 2012

What about buying this one?

If you want to crossfire more powerful cards in the future, go for it. But as I said, the power supply you have now is good.

Red Snow · Jul 3, 2012

Ok, thanks. I think i'll just keep my powersupply and buy the 7850 card.

But the connections on the 500W and 750W, are they different?

I currently have a 7770 card, and i want to buy the 7850 card, are they any different when it comes to connecting the new one to my computer?

750W has more power. and thus it can support better cards.

Do you have internet access on other wireless devices? If not it could be an issue with your router. Also goto CMD and type in ipconfig /all and figure out what your IP address is and check it with the routers IP. You could be running a Automatic Private IP which is assigned if the router does not assign one for the DHCP pool.

I got internet on everything else, it's about 10m from the router to my computer.
When i placed it right infront of the router it worked like a charm, but when i placed it in my room again, the same problem appears.
