[SOLVED] AMD Crossfire for Extra VRAM

[shmulik3]

Hi,

So I've got an older AMD HD7850. The biggest culprit of this card is the really low VRAM - 1GB.
I read that Crossfire will not combine VRAM, but, if I buy a lower powered card with 2GB of VRAM (about 60$ on Amazon) will it mean that I would now essentially have 2 Gigs of VRAM?

Thanks!

No. The VRAM is 1gb, it’s takes the amount of the lowest card. Both cards have to store the same data, so if one card only has 1GB that is the limit.

That's unfortunate. Thanks!
