So currently I would like to crossfire two RX 460. However, the one I want has 2 gb difference in vram, and is made by a different company. My question is, can I still crossfire? And as always, thanks for the help guys.

sell one and get a RX 470 or RX 480, Xfire 460s isnt worth it if it can even be done

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

you should be able to. AMD has a crossfire chart made up. you should google that.

I think the card with the 4gigs will be reduced to 2gigs and overall there will only be 2gigs available.

how much is the second card? I might know a way to get one for $80 with 4gigs on it.

Because it won't match the performance of an RX480 for the same price/more

Personal build >  New-ish AMD main gaming setup           

   PLEASE QUOTE OR @ ME FOR A RESPONSE xD

because XFire is a waste of time and money

Because you'll probably have about 20$ more to spend on hats with and more frames if you go for the rx480.
