5 way crossfire

[zedselder]

Just curious can you run 4 r9 290x and an a10 r7 7850k apu together

[AlwaysFSX]

No.

[TheKDub]

Pretty sure the answer to that is no.

[Enderman]

no

No. But really, why?

[Darkman]

Nope... And a 7850k will/can bottleneck R9 280s... Only one 290X would be used and it would be at like 20% load at most due to the terrible apu.

I think you need something like a 5820k and two 1500W PSUs. Honestly your electric bill would sky rocket.

Why!!!! How about playing games on triple 4k

Lucky for me i live in a country where electricity is so cheap

windows doesnt support crossfire or sli above 4 way also the apu gpu is much different than a 290x and you cant crossfire different gpus also the cpu on the apu is terrible so it wont use all the power of the gpus because the cpu has to assign the gpu tasks and the cpu isnt fast enough to assign tasks quickly enough to hit 100% usage

An A10 APU would get maybe 2fps on triple 4k, regardless of the GPU configuration. NCIX did a video on surround 4k, and, apparently, it is just too much for current hardware.

Not to mention a burned down house.

Nothing can run triple 4K well it's a lost dream for now, and you think it can be done with 4gb of vram?

*cries*

[thekeemo]

1. a10 bottleneck much/

2. only R3 and R5 and some R7 can crossfire

[spartaman64]

you can run the apu and a r7 250 in dual gpu which is basically crossfire but it will still be pretty slow and not enough for 4k

[Guest Kloaked]

I don't understand why you'd even want to. APU's are weak as it is.

This will help

While I agree that the apu is a terrible choice for any 4k setup, considering the price the monitors and gpus needed, 4k is gpu bound, the cpu doesn't care what resolution is used. If the apu bottlenecks at 40 fps in 1080p, it will bottleneck at 40 fps at 4k assuming the gpu is capable of going higher
