[SOLVED] Can I Crossfire two identical cards and one different?

I have a old PC I like experimenting on. So, I have in it two HD 5970, and I also found one HD 5870. So, the question is can I Crossfire them all?

No. I don't think you can crossfire those 2 different GPU models.

NEVER MIND......

Btw, there is not point in going for a multi-GPU setup like SLI or Crossfire. It's not worth the hassle these days. You would be much better off buying a SINGLE powerful GPU instead.

Given this chart, you can Crossfire HD 5970s and HD 5870s. Whether or not you can do it with a three card scenario, I can only recommend trying (for curiosity's sake). Of course, your motherboard would need to support more than just two cards and the cards would need multiple Crossfire Connect ports.

P.S. Only NVidia required identical model graphic cards for SLI set ups.

My motherboard supports it, it's Asus Rampage III Extreme. I was just curious, thank you.
