CROSSFIREX R7 260X DRIVERS
CROSSFIREX R7 260X SOFTWARE

The AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz edition reference card and the Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Toxic were able to run CrossFire and no issues were found. We were unsuccessful in getting AMD CrossFireX to enable without the ribbon bridge being installed. Since both the Radeon HD 7790 and Radeon R7 260X use the same ‘Bonaire’ we figured we’d try without an interconnect here. We heard a rumor that you didn’t need to use a CrossFire bridge when running CrossFire on two AMD Radeon R7 260X cards, but we don’t have two cards to try that out with.

No issues were found whatsoever and the AMD Catalyst software suite worked like a charm.

We used AMD Catalyst 13.11 beta drivers and had no issues with enabling CrossFire with a single interconnect. We really wanted a ‘worst case’ scenario to ensure CrossFire really was working.įirst up we have the AMD Radeon R7 260X reference card and the Gigabyte Radeon HD 7790 OC. It should be noted that we purposely picked cards from different manufactures and all had different clock speeds. Then we’ll conclude with a look at the Gigabyte Radeon HD 7790 OC and the AMD Radeon R7 260X reference card. Next up we have the original AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz edition reference card that we’ll be pairing up with the Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Toxic. If you take a look at the image above you’ll see that we have a Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 Vapor-X 3GB video card that we will be pairing with an XFX Radeon R9 280X. AMD confirmed to use earlier this week that you would be able to run mixed CrossFire, but we wanted to try it out for ourselves and see how it works in the real world.įor this test we gathered up three AMD Radeon HD 7000 series cards and three of the new AMD R7 and R9 200 series cards to see how they would work together when setup in a mixed CrossFire configuration. The new AMD R-200 series is essentially a product re-brand, so the hardware is the same. The new AMD Radeon R7 and R9 series video cards went on sale this morning and a number of our readers have asked if they can enable AMD CrossFireX technology with their current AMD Radeon HD 7000 series card with them.
