Does the AMD Radeon HD 6450 LP 1gb support crossfire? Specifically the Powercolor AX6450 is what I am wondering about.

I do a lot of editing and VFX work, I have been running into issues with the GPU Vram being all-time high while doing intensive effects in After Effects. My current build is R9 3900x, Rx 6600XT, 32 gb Ram ( Can provide more if needed ) Does adding another similar series GPU into this build ( Amd Crossfire ) help me fix the issue?

Back in the olden days, you could run two different video cards (not SLI or Crossfire) and have each one running a monitor. And, of course, there are apparently still vestiges of CrossfireX available, but the cards have to be from the same generation. Is there any benefit to running two different cards in the same system today? (other than to run 6 monitors) What I was ideally thinking was to have my RX590 8GB running my two displays and my new RX6750XT 12GB doing nothing but crunching for things like Premiere and AfterEffects. Is that in any way possible? Mobo is ASUS TUF X570-PLUS with Ryzen 5 3600 and Widows 11.

I know the general rule of thumb is to go with a single GPU, but with prices of new cards not normalizing anytime soon and some older generations of used cards still going for way more than what they are really worth, could it make sense to buy older matching cards and running them in SLI/Crossfire for some kind of performance increase in the interim?

Monitor set to Picture in Picture source as dp 1 and dp2 on both one gpu via dp 1.4 connected per port extended across both displays in windows launch favorite game good?, bad? Noticeable? if so would a in pcie card clock generator thingie remedy this?

So I Heard That We Could Disable One Out of Two GPU's On a R9 295x2. I Am Just Looking For Some More Details On How Exactly To Do so And If I Do It Will I Loose Any Performance And Can i Overclock it? And Yes I Have the 295x2 That Comes In The Fancy Briefcase With a Factory Water Cooler

Hi can anyone plz tell me if u can have a dual rx5700xt gpu set up bc i feel like for nearly the same price dual rx 5700xt is the same or better than a 3080 because it feels like its cheaper or the same as the price of a 3080. Thanks !!!!!!!!

Ok, so I'm trying to get 3 way Crossfire going. Before any of you naysayers start going on about poor scaling and gaming performance, I don't care, I have a 1080Ti for gaming. I just need this to work for 5 minutes. This is purely for a 3D Mark achievement requiring a run with 3 or more GPUs in SLI/Crossfire Problem I'm running into, is that Radeon software only seems to recognize 2 of the GPUs. 3D mark sees all 3, but is only running in 2 way Crossfire, I can only guess is due to drivers and or Radeon Is it a problem with current Radeon Software? Drivers? Is there a build that supports 3 way? I know they've dropped support a while ago, but there's gotta be a way to make this work I have: 3x Rx 580 8gb Sapphire Nitro+ Latest Radeon software and drivers MSI Z97 Gaming Plus 5 - says it has 3 way crossfire support - Latest Bios - PCIe lanes set to 8x 4x 4x Gen 3 Celeron G1840 1200w psu 8gb Corsair 1600mhz (xmp on)

Mobo : asrock b450 steel legend atx version cpu : ryzen 5 3500x ram : hyper x 3200 2x8gb ssd : adata sx6000 256gb hdd : seagate barracuda green 2tb psu : gigabytes superb 720 (old psu from an old pc) gpu : msi gaming x 570 4gb x 2 So this is a build from 2-3years ago and don’t want to upgrade it, the second gpu was given me by my cousin and wanted to crossfire but the system doesn’t recognise the second gpu. I try to check everything on the internet and could not find it so I need some help.

Hello, I've recently bought a rx580 4gb to upgrade from my rx550 2gb, and I was wondering if I could run them in crossfire. If so, what advantages could this give me in gaming, or would it be better to out the rx550 in a old rig?

Hello! I've been trying to troubleshoot certain issue... and just gave up. Decided I'll come to the source of all technical knowledge (yes you, Sinus Lebastian) Before you continue First and foremost I'll kindly ask NOT TO use any advices like "upgrade your entire system", "switch processor generations", etc - it's not an option. Despite all the chaos crawling across the world of today (causing inflation, chip shortages, whatnot) - I additionally live in a place where hardware is EXTREMELY(!) expensive. I might *possibly* be able to get some RAM sticks if this happens to be the case, but that's probably just it. Even CPU upgrade to a -K version (plus the cooling for it) is likely above my current possibilities. Some background story and the computer specs + it's evolution Not so long ago I was happily running: - MSI Z87-G43 Gaming - Core i7 4790 (non-K) CPU - WD Blue NVMe SSD running at PCI-Express x1 adapter - Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SATA SSD - 24GB DDR3 1600MHz (2x Kingston 4GB 2400MHz 1.65v + 2x Samsung 8GB 1600MHz 1.35v sticks) - Sapphire AMD Radeon HD7950 3GB GDDR5 GPU - BeQuiet DarkPower Pro 550W PSU - 2x DELL U2311H 23" 1920x1080 IPS panels standing vertically (pivot/portrait mode) - 1x DELL U3011 30" 2560x1600 (16:10) IPS panel as my main monitor (landscape mode) This is a machine I mostly use for work (under Linux), but then I also have a multiboot with Win 10 64bit which I use to finish a single-player game every now and then or hang around with friends in GTA5 Online. Then a very good friend of mine, knowing how much I suffer playing below native resolution with most of things set on "minimal", literally shipped me: - 2x Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX570 4GB GDDR5 GPUs - Corsair RM850x 850W PSU I never ran CrossFire(X) before, but it seemed like something awesome to test out - so I did. Plugged those cards, DDU'd the old driver, installed a new one and... boom! Finally GTA5 Online in native resolution (2560x1600), slightly ramped up details here and there aaand... pretty-much-almost stable 60 FPS! I was in awe! The only issue I had was the GPUs ran a bit hot, both pretty much settling at around 72-74'C in GTA and then fans kicking in quite noisily. Then I googled, out of curiosity, only to find out that my motherboard actually has only ONE (top) PCI-Express 16x slot that utilizes the actually 16x full Gen 3 bandwidth, whilist the bottom one is wired to the chipset and only runs at 4x Gen 2. I also found out many threads saying that those two cards in CrossFire (when supported by the game) should match the performance of RTX 2070. That got me hyped... and a lot! I found a friend who was running exactly a motherboard I needed - and who didn't need it all the features I was missing. I proposed a swap with a bit of extra on top from my end. They agreed; I swapped - MSI Z87-G43 Gaming (Z87 chipset, one PCI-Express 16x Gen 3 + the other PCI-Express wired to chipset, being 4x Gen 2) for - MSI Z97 Gaming 5 (Z97 chipset, three PCI-Express 16x Gen 3 slots wired directly to the CPU + a real-deal m.2 slot!) I also got rid of the PCI-Express x1 NVMe adapter and mounted the WD Blue directly to the motherboard. As far as I read (correct me if I'm wrong) this one on this motherboard is also wired to the chipset and runs at 4x Gen 2, but that's STILL a boost in this case. ...and then the hell itself broke loose The cards have been set to PCI-Express Gen 3 8x each (best what this setup can do), Crossfire was on. I launched my beloved GTA5 Online and instead of performance increase... I observed a decrease! Just driving around town I had drops down to 45-ish FPS every now and then. That got me truly wondering... I ran Furmark. My old motherboard was able to push about 24fps 2560x1600 MSAA 2x there and "burn the cards" up to around 77-78'C. This motherboard easily pushed 48fps 2560x1600 MSAA 2x and burned the cards above 81'C as they started to throttle (I've seen drops in "state" on GPU Shark). That was a good sign - they work, crossfire works as well... So what is wrong? I ran GTA again with MSI Afterburner showing the GPU usages of each cards + GPU Shark on a secondary screen... Then I noticed that *instead* of their core usage being anywhat constant-high, it "switches". One GPU at 70-ish%, the other at 0%, then they switch sides. Very seldom I've seen both truly processing anything. Also they never reach above 61-62'C there... I tried to "kick it", set reflection quality on ultra, grass quality on ultra, shadows on very high, soft shadows on AMD CHS... and no change at all! Still 60 FPS dropping down to 40-ish at completely random places. Driving the car to a grassy area with trees and full sun (grass, shadows, reflections) I still had 60 FPS and actually heard the GPU fans ramping up a little bit, but then driving back to town the GPUs started being lazy again and my FPSes dropped significantly - especially on *some* streets; and especially when driving fast through town. Stopping for a while to "look around" often fixed it to some degree, though usually keeping it at about 55-57 FPS - leaving a noticable stutter. The overall CPU usage still sticks around 50-67% during the gameplay. I did it all; reinstalled Windows to newest Ameliorated edition (to keep it clean), used both the 2019 and the current drivers (they changed quite a bit there), tried driving PCI-Express in 8x/4x/4x mode as well as 8x/8x mode, even tried slightly overclocking my cpu by BCLK, setting it constant 3.8GHz 4 cores and setting the Ring Ratio to 4GHz - but that gave negligible effects if any. I tried switching CrossFire Mode in newest drivers from "Default", "1:1", "AFR Friendly", "AFR Compatible"... not much of a difference, though I do have a feeling that "AFR Friendly" seems the best. Just a feeling though - like if there was less situations where the game decides to slow down. Then I read that the Spectre/Meltdown microcode patch truly hit the 4th generation CPUs (4790 is still a Haswell-Refresh/Devil's Canyon IIRC)... so I googled around and disabled all those patches via registry and some software I forgot the name of now. Not much changed... One thing that kind-of pointed me towards a potential CPU/bottleneck issues (though I don't want to bias any readers on it as it may be false-positive!) is that when I join a session FULL of players (20+) I'm usually at my 40-ish FPS all the time. If I clear that session/switch to one where I'm empty - back at mostly-60. That behavior kind of improved with disabling of Spectre/Meltdown, though not fully (I wasn't able to remove the actual microcode; just disable it in registry). Where to go from here? How do I truly identify the issue? I'm entirely lost now.

This is gonna sound like a dumb question, but here goes: I just got a brand new RX6600, works great, but it does not like my multi-monitor set up. I have 4 monitors and I had to unplug 2 just so it wouldn’t have a stroke. Now my old GPU, a RX570, can run all 4 monitors without causing problems. I want to know if I can plug both GPUs into my motherboard, and instead of combining them with Crossfire to work on the same workload, have the 6600 be on just the main monitor while the 570 works on the other 3. I don’t know if that’s even possible with either because it’s 2 different cards or because the 6600 doesn’t have crossfire but the 570 does. If it doesn’t work, that’s fine, but if it does, then I would like to know how to make it work.

I already have a cheap amd gpu (rx 6400), and plan on upgrading to a motherboard that can hold two gpus. Should I just buy a higher end gpu, (but not, like, 6800 or something) or should I buy the same low end gpu and pair them on the same system?

Recently after a standard shut down for a night, I turned my computer back on to have it boot into windows normally. After about 5 minutes the monitors flashed for a moment and the 2nd GPU wasn't seen in MSI afterburner. Checking in the BIOS it said my first GPU was running at 16x and the 2nd wasn't even detected. I brought it into a local computer repair place and after a day they found it to be a windows update. After a roll back and blocking the update from being installed it worked fine again. 2 weeks later it happened again, but they can't figure out what the cause of it is. Things that I know were done, each card was tested individually in each PCI-e slot and everything came back perfect. When the 2nd card is plugged in only the first slot is detected and works. BIOS was reinstalled and CMOS was cleared. ULPS was disabled (which is what gets the 2nd card to be detected to begin with from when I installed them) Discrete graphics was disabled. Crossfire is built into the motherboard. SPECS: MOBO - ASUS z-97-a/usb 3.1 RAM - 32 gb CPU - i7 4790k PSU - RX 1000 ae OS - Win 10 Pro 64-bit GPU - 2x XFX AMD RX 580 8gb

So, I feel this may be a foregone conclusion, but wanted to see if anyone has any other tips. I recently switched GPUs and Mobo in my PC. Bought 2 used RX 580s and have them set up in crossfire on a B450 Gigabyte Aorus Pro Wifi board. Ever since then, I have experienced total system shut downs every time I try to launch an intensive game. No blue screen, just completely shuts down. All other functions and even some other casual games are fine. I'm trying to avoid having to return the Motherboard, but it's starting to seem like it may be the only option. Here's what I've tried: -Removed GPUs and tested them on a different board. They were fine separately, but could not test them together on that board. -Switched to known good PSU. -Tried each GPU separately in Gigabyte board (thought maybe the board just had problems with multi-gpu setups.) -Reinstalled board drivers -Used AMD Cleanup Tool to completely remove display drivers and reinstalled them (multiple times). -Reset windows on my PC. -Changed the power strip my PC was plugged into. -checked for BIOS updates (there weren't any). Let me know if you think there's something I should try before returning the mobo. Thanks!

Budget (including currency): doesn't matter Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Intense video editing (premiere pro, after effect) and extreme gaming Other details Threadripper 3990X, Radeon VII, 128 GB RAM. This will work, but I'm wondering if I can use two Radeon VII with crossfire. I'm not sure if that setup will work or not, as it has nowhere been advertised or listed by AMD that Radeon VII is crossfire compatible with threadripper, and many people are saying that it isn't. I want to be completely sure that will work. If anyone has any idea about this let me know please. Thank You.

Before I start I had asked this in the graphics card section and we figured out I need a 1000w psu also the reason I am doing crossfire is all my games support crossfire and I 3d render games (ones I have custom made ) so these GPUs will be used not just for gaming I found a supernova g5 for a good price (im in UK) and being that it's evga it should be high quality for what I need (all the seasonic Ones are out of stock were I am and the only ones left are £250+ which is alot and I don't really want to pay more than £200) will the supernova g5 be good quality as I have heard that they are not the best? Thanks for any help

Before anyone says crossfire is not worth it most of the games I play support it + Vega 64s are getting cheaper and they are really good cards I will not only be using them for gaming but for rendering games I have made i know the vega 64s require a 550w psu and currently I have a 700w thermal take psu so I can use 1 no problem but what psu should I get to use both I have heard I could use a 1000w model but im not sure if that will be enough I have read conflicting articles saying 1000w is enough and some saying min would be close to 1400w thanks for any help.

Hey guys, I recently ordered another https://www.gigabyte.com/au/Graphics-Card/GV-RXVEGA64GAMING-OC-8GD#kf on ebay to enable crossfire mode.

I've been planing on building a new system with the R7 1700. But as i bought a Sapphire RX 470 Nitro 8Gb not long ago for my current PC i wanted to step-up my performance even more. So would two RX 470's in crossfire make a bigger difference in performance relative to its price, compared to a single flagship GPU?

Hello, I have a EVGA 600w power supply. I'm thinking of crossfireing my Radeon HD 7870. To maybe run vr in the future. The only problem is that my power supply only has two 6/8 pin connectors. Would it be safe to use molex to 6 pin adapters for this? Thank,

Hello. I am planning to upgrade from my current build (2600k @ 4,9ghz) and RX480 CF I am doing some work in lightroom and photoshop But mainly its about playing BF1, where my current 2600k is not holding up with doing RX480 in crossfire. This seems to be the case of major cpu bottleneck, aslong in titles like The Division etc. So regarding what system to build on.. Will an 8 or 6 core ryzen be better for doing crossfire on heavy cpu usage games, or with the current game performance of an 6/7700k be just as good or better? Since ryzen has been somewhat low on some games regarding the fps produced now i am struggling to decide. As im not to sure wich will be the best choice down the road as im most likely are going to go Crossfire and mby sli later. thanks

Can I run two RX 460s in crossfire? If I can how would it compare to a single R9 fury?

All right! So AMD's older cards like the HD4870 for example could have been crossfired with any other HD48** cards. But the official AMD website that is supposed to show me the compatibility has not been updated since R9 200 series. What's the current situation in this topic? RX480+RX470 possible? or R9 390+RX480? or it's simply no longer true that you can crossfire different cards?
