=VG= Murderface0151 Posted November 14, 2011 at 02:50 PM Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 at 02:50 PM Hey dudes and possibly dudettesQuestion aimed directly at Semlers face :-) - number 1, would crossfire between a HD4850 and a HD6850 work? and number 2, if it would, would there be any point or any decent gains? (number 3 :P) would there be any issues seeing as though they're two complete different generations of card?i can't bring myself to get rid of the card I've had for over 2 years and that's seen me through so much, so i guess i'd like to include it in a new build i'm thinking of - hook the little bitch up to a HD6850 and watch it fry perhaps hahahaany insight would be greatly appreciated.Murder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= Ingo Posted November 14, 2011 at 05:38 PM Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 at 05:38 PM from what i know crossfire works whit the same series only like you can crossfire a hd6970 whit a hd6950. and a quote from wikipedia : However GPU's not in the same hundred series cannot be crossfired successfully. (e.g. a 5770 cannot run with a 5870) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= poffadder (Inactive Duty) Posted November 14, 2011 at 06:15 PM Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 at 06:15 PM Ingo is correct, They have to have the same GPU. The only difference can be the amount of stream processors and the frequencies of the GPU core and the memory.Also you are talking about putting a DX 10 card with a DX 11 card, that would limit you to DX 10.

=VG= Murderface0151 Posted November 15, 2011 at 01:09 AM Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 at 01:09 AM i think im going to frame my 4850, and preserve its memory for the ages to come. then in 20 years i can compare technologies and hopefully be mildly impressed by the new stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= poffadder (Inactive Duty) Posted November 15, 2011 at 01:29 AM Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 at 01:29 AM Well I just took out my 4870 and upgraded to a 560 ti.

That floppy disk could only ever hold something like 1500-3000kB, and today I have a MicroSD chip I bought for my cell phone that is about the size of the fingernail on my little finger, about as thick, and holds 16GB!!
