7870 CrossFire on --> ASUS M3M-HD/HDMI (SLI board)

[broshm]

Hello,

I've tried looking for solution but just got more confused.

Is it possible to CrossFire 2 Gigabyte HD7870 cards on my ASUS M3M-HD/HDMI SLI motherboard?

Something about hacked drivers?
I need all the helpI can get.

Thanks!

I doubt it, back then it was crossfire vs SLI I think for competition between AMD and Nvidia. Now It's no more competition and both modern motherboards can support CF and SLI.

Not sure if crossfire HD 7870 would be doing you any good anyways with an AMD Phenom processor plus the inconsistence of AMD crossfire support.

No it is not possible with that motherboard. Here is the reason why: - NVIDIA Hybrid SLI and DX10 support. The hybrid SLI means that it uses the Onboard GPU and the discrete "Nvidia" GPU together to make SLI. This is a very flawed system and needs very specific hardware to work.

Your board only has 1 PCI-e slot. For standard crossfire you will need 2 slots. So no matter how you try it it will not work.
