Can you sli a Gtx 8000 with a R9 270x

[MaxTE7]

I bought a old dell xps recently so I could upgrade it. I also bought a ton of aftermarket parts including a R9 270x. But when the xps arrived there was a gtx 8000 already in it. So I was wondering if I could sli both of them together. I checked both have a sli plug. If I can what sli bridge should use.

 

 

 

 

there is a sli plug on the radeon and some people have somehow done this

wait, what? No!

 

A r9 270x is from AMD and there it is called crossfire. A GTX8000 is from Nvidia and can only SLI. 

 

It is like filling diesel into a gasoline car. Gaint explosion, sparks fly everywhere...

No AMD do not support SLI at all.

ahhhhhhhhhh such a noob help me. By the way no, you can not configure an amd gpu with sli. The closest thing amd have is crossfire but sli only works with nvidia cards and crossfire only works with amd cards

[Giganizer300PRO]

You can only SLI the same models of video cards. (for example multiple GTX 970s)

AMD also has their own technology identical to SLI called CrossFire.

No AMD do not support SLI at all.

 

No Nvidia do not support Crossfire at all.

[Bsmith]

Yeah so the point is, it won' t work! Better get back to the drawing board.

I'm probably repeating but for sli or crossfire to work you need identical cards so this won't work for two reasons. However what you can do is just run the worse card in there to power an auxiliary monitor.

No. You can only SLI cards with the same GPU.

In what movie have you seen this

 

The engine just stops with a rattling noise, black smoke coming from the exhaust

I used exaggeration as a stylistic device.

You've probably seen people running a geforce as a physx card beside another GPU, but never in sli/cf.

Can we mark this topic as solved, please?

Also, currently running a 260X and a 9400 GTS......_{actually just a physx card}
