AMD R7 360 crossfire?

[Brennan Price]

Hello I currently own an AMD R7 360 on its own. Except I would like to know it the card can run in crossfire through software in CCC. I am looking to get a bit more power from my pc by upgrading. I only ask on here because there is almost no information of the R7 360 on the internet. Please help.

 

Kind regards Brennan Price.

Yes, but don't do it. Save for an R9 285 or something.

[TheRandomness]

It'll probably crossfire but it's rather pointless with a low end card like that.

Crossfire is kind of a pain in the ass. Not worth it IMO. Looks really cool in the case though.

Put simply: You can, but you shouldn't. Sell it/save for a better card.

[Brennan Price]

Well, the point I am trying to get at is that although it does not have a physical crossfire bridge, can I still crossfire it through software?

[Brennan Price]

All I need is a simple Yes/No answer really

Yes, most likely. This chart is for the 200s but still works.

All depends on if the 360 is a 260 or a 265.

[Brennan Price]

Well I worry that too, however in Raptr my specs come up saying I have a 260 instead of a 360

The 360 is a rebranded 260.

Yeah i dont think you need a bridge since the r9 290 didnt

[App4that]

Easy way to know for sure is look for a bridge mount on your 360. If you don't have one, you don't need one. Top of the board of the card will have a notch in it for connecting the bridge.

Yeah it's GCN 1.1 which doesn't use a Crossfire bridge.

Thanks for confirming it!

But seriously, you will get better performance out of one better card than two low end cards!

I know what a bridge mount is btw. I'm not that stupid.

Never said you were :lol:

[Fictionvl]

It's not worth it with a low end card.. I would say, sell the one you have , and get a better card, you'll get a better overall performance.

I know I will get better better performance from a single card than the two together, but... All I want them for is a bit better quality for making my Youtube vids. I only need about 30FPS extra as I'm wanting to record minecraft using shaders mod. I already have recorded using my single card but my FPS is at about 30 when recording.

Problem is heat and power consumption. You also are limited to software that supports crossfire. So you could spend the money on a second card, and not be able to use it, like me.

I ask because the R7 does not have a bridge mount

That is a fair enough point, I'm sure that minecraft can support crossfire.... Lemme search

[Brennan Price]

Ok, I could always install optifine and Minecraft would be supported by crossfire.

Support and run smoothly are two different things. Looks for complaints on the software you want to run, and crossfire. Then you'll see what you might run into. Witcher 3 support crossfire, but I can't use crossfire because of a glitch that still isn't fixed.

[Brennan Price]

I would agree that these are good points to make, but all I really play is minecraft and warface generally. Plus if I install optifine then minecraft will support crossfire.
