[Ask] Two 4770 on 790GX

[_gs_]

Hi all, I need a quick replies, going to order soon..
I'm currently using 790GX motherboard..

Is two 4770 performs good enough on 790GX which only support 8x crossfire?
Thanks in advance..

If you think about it, a 4870X2 or a gtx295 works on one x16 lane so there really shouldn't be any issues with a 4770 on an 8x.

I mean, is there any significant difference between 8x and 16x crossfire on two 4770..

I read that two 4770 beat single 4890 on crossfire, but that's on 16x crossfire..
How about on 8x crossfire?

Does anyone gets the information?

You will be fine. Even a 4890/285 is only marginally hampered by x8 lanes. A 4770 simply cant put out the performance to be affected at all by x8 lanes.

Thanks, does anyone get the link to the page or something which shows the result of overclocking 4770 on 8x crossfire??
Thanks, I really need quick replies, because I'm going to order in next few hours...
