Equivalents

Theral · March 12, 2015

So I am thinking of getting another graphics card and so I found the geforce gtx 970 but I have an amd gpu and don't want have either 1 or the other or both running at the same time, not that smart to configure it. So what i am getting at is what is the equivalent of the geforce gtx 970 as an amd card so i can crossfire them and therefore get the best out of both of them. Also would i need more power?

You cannot crossfire AMD cards with NVidia cards. What card do you have now?

There isn't one. The closest is the 290x if you overclock it a bit. Also, you really need 2 of the same card.

when running crossfire you need 2 cards of the same family. so 290/290x 280/280x ect. you can't mix and match old with new, even if you could both would run at the speed of the older slower one.

just buy the best card you can afford! a single 970 is more than enough for games at 1080p or 1440p.
