yeah it's plenty

Yes, the PSU would work. However, you may want to wait until AMD updates their drivers to do crossfire. I forget when they are coming out/if they have come out, but they will supposedly improve crossfire performance.

July 31st..And RadeonPro removes any crossfire issue..Thats like telling people not to buy a nvidia card cause there new drivers are frying cards right now..

 

Why get a 7970ghz edition when it will only run at your 7950 speeds?

I don't use AMD card but how can you use a 7950 and a 7970 in crossfire doesn't it have to be the same card?

No you can use any 79 series together..It just downclocks to the slowest card..So it will be like he has two 7950s..

I guess thats kinda cool but really pointless because you're wasting performance.

Correct..He is better off saving money and getting another 7950..

[Bsantos]

I can place the 7950 at the same speeds

[Bsantos]

If I place the 7950 at the same clock will it preform as good

If i place the 7950 at the same speeds by overclocking qont it preform as good?

It can. But 7950 is missing hardware. It's missing like 500 stream processors.

That is actually achievable, tom's hardware paired a 7950 with a 7870 Tahiti LE both at stock & that caused some issues because the 7870 tahiti LE was slower, they then OCed the 7870 Tahiti LE to match the 7950 performance & all the issues disappeared.

I would also highly suggest checking out RadeonPro

Actually it's missing 256 GCN cores.

Yes. I went too far.

lol just a little bit.

Not matter what you do it will not be two 7970s..Your best bet is to just buy another 7950..Save cash for a 1440p monitor..:)
