Crossfiring in general is so hit and miss these days, it's pointless. AMD use to offer the crossfire profiles separate to the CCC drivers. Now that everything is combined, it takes FOREVER to get crossfire profiles for new games. The last drive updates were in December of last year up until 3 days ago. And those drivers are just betas! Not even WHQL certified.

 

Stick with a single card as everyone has said. It'll save you a LOT of headaches down the road.

Those are not crossfire compatible you can only crossfire an R9 270X with an R9 270x or 7870 I believe.

^ and I also think that you shouldn't crossfire R9 270X, get better stronger single GPU (like R9 280X or 290X) than R9 270X crossfire.

  • Solution

Crossfiring in general is so hit and miss these days, it's pointless. AMD use to offer the crossfire profiles separate to the CCC drivers. Now that everything is combined, it takes FOREVER to get crossfire profiles for new games. The last drive updates were in December of last year up until 3 days ago. And those drivers are just betas! Not even WHQL certified.

 

Stick with a single card as everyone has said. It'll save you a LOT of headaches down the road.
