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.

 

As @App4that has said, software can be glitchy and is never as good as the real deal so honestly you will get your extra 30fps selling that card and buying a new one! So dont fall into the trap of buying another card for it not to work!

For minecraft that 2g of Vram will impact your ability to play more than GPU performance. Even a 380 with 3g would be an improvement.

This?

Yep! I have a 4gb R9 270 *overkill I know but was cheaper than 2gb* and i have managed to use 3.5gb of vram with shaders and mods installed!

Your avatar is a game called Snake. I played the original when it was new. Gooood times.

All I need is a simple Yes/No answer really

 

Are you buying a new board? Because your current one doesn't support crossfire.

Anyway, cheers guys for all your really helpful comments I have realized that ok, I should upgrade my graphics with a single card but it is whether my parents will let me sell this one for a better on since I bought my card in the summer term. Which isn't that long ago. If I tell them I am getting rid of an already decent pc part, they may say no

[Brennan Price]

yes it does

Cheers, I figured it might but thanks for clarifying it. I dont know why I didn't look at XFX's page. I guess it is that kind of day

[SteveGrabowski0]

yes it does

I meant his board doesn't support Crossfire, being that it has only one PCIE-3.0x16 graphics card slot. It has a PCIE-3.0x1 slot and a PCI slot, but no second PCIE-3.0x16.

Yes, I was going to buy a new board because I want a sound card too

[App4that]

Do NOT buy a Gigabyte board. They will not stand behind the warranty, they'll give you the choice of a month without your PC or living with the problem.

I also want a new board as I also have an internet card installed too. This means that my GPU is covering the other x1 slot. So yeah...

Really, I never knew that. But, I had problems with my current board because stupidly I didnt look at the bios support. I have to RMA my board just to get a new bios chip installed lol

Still sounds better than Asus claiming you have bent pins and charging you for replacement at least. lol

However, your comment before this one you posted I love because it is the most amount of times I have ever heard PCI-E x blah in a single sentence

Yeah but my RMA cost me £30 for something I couldnt do myself as I didnt have another spare FM2+ socket cpu available

Argghh, is it soldered on? I hate that shit. I screwed up a BIOS update on my board one time when a rolling blackout came, but back then you could just pop in BIOS chips and I got Abit to send me a new one.

P.S. How do I make a post on here 'Solved'?
