crossfire

hey SF,

i have some questions about crossfire. i've searched on google but i didnt seem to find what i want(for the first question, for the others i just want to be sure ^^).

okay, onto the questions:
1. how will crossfire affect the heat, right now my single 5770 is 71 degrees on full load
2. will i be able to add a different GPU as crossfire (for example, a 6970) i know i will have to upgrade PSU too then.
3. if 2. is no, does the GPU have to be the same make/brand

thanks in advance,

DD

1. The temps will go up a bit, but ss long as you have decent airflow to begin with it shouldn't be much of a concern.

2. Different, no. They have to be within the same GPU family. This shows which work with which,



3. No they don't have to from the same manufacturer. Also see #2.

okay thanks :)

is there a way to calculate how high temps will get with the 2nd GPU in? as i would not like them to get too hot (ofcourse)

don't forget to check out your PSU loads
might need to beef up the power..

the PSU should be just about enough, i calculated it and got 540 watt (my psu is 550)
