Can I run crossfire with gtx 970 and gtx 960?

[Wieck]

Hi, I have a MSI GTX 960 from my previous PC and I was wondering if I can run crossfire with the Inno3D GTX 970 in my current machine. Do I have to get another 970 instead?

No and for nvidia cards it's called sli amd cards crossfire it has to be the same card for you to sli or crossfire

For Nvidia It's called SLI, not crossfire which is a term for multiple AMD graphics cards in a single configuration. And, no, you can't SLI with 2 different graphics cards. You need two of the same models, however you could SLI an MSI GTX 970 with an Inno3D GTX 970 for example but it would look a bit weird in your system if you have a windowed side panel so two of the same is usually recommended.

But this also depends if your motherboard supports SLI at all and if you have atleast got a 750 watts power supply. If you don't have either of the options, you already can't.

Sorry it won't work. 🙁 They must be exactly the same, gtx 660 with gtx 660, however the model can be different, EVGA with MSI for example.
