Same GPU, 1 with OC 1 without

[Stydian]

Hi guys im new here and im not very knowledgeable with building PC's. i was wanting to have 2 GPU's, but the one that i have is:

ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 560 16CU 4GB Gaming GDDR5

this one above didnt have OC. so i was wondering, will it be okay if i bought an "OC" version of this same card, which is this one:

 

ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 560 16CU O4GB Gaming OC Edition GDDR5

 

will it work properly? to be specific, will i still be able to Crossfire them, and will it improve the over all gaming experience?

im using: B450-A PRO as my MOBO and Ryzen 3 2200g for CPU.

 

and also, i plan on using these GPU's for Mining as well, thats why i wanted two. i know these cards are not high end but, its perfect for my budget.

 

P.S.

Thanks for taking your time in reading my thread, and thanks for all who's gonna help.

They will work.

 

I would not recommend mining, as it's not profitable any more.

Thank you for your reply, i have a few more questions if you may.

 

GPU #1 = non OC

GPU #2 = with OC

 

If i overclock GPU #2, will it affect GPU #1?

if GPU #2 is overclocked, will it be affected by GPU #1 cause its not Overclocked?

why 2 cards? 1 faster card is better

I dont think Crossfire require both GPUs to run at the same frequency, so the answer will be no. Of course overclocking makes them faster.

then sell the current card for an upgrade, multi-GPU scaling is still a problem so some games wont run better with 2 cards at all. Performance, in other words, is inconsistent.

thanks for the answers guys. i appreciate it.
