Crossfire 270 questions.

[tomkis90]

Can you crossfire an MSI 270 and a Sapphire one?
And also will 650w psu be enough for the setup.

Note: I'm only doing this because Its fun and I have two 270s laying around the house.

Simple answer is yes.

i am running 1 270 on a 375w psu so i would say 650w would be plenty of power for 2 of them.

as for mixing brands, i have seen it go both ways. sometimes it works, other times it does not. i do know the memory speed has a lot to do with it. they both need to be running the same speeds, gpu and ram, to work together. at least this is what i have read as i have not actually tried it myself. the xfire/sli builds i have done were new ones with matching cards bought at the same time. and even then, one of the builds did not work in sli with the cards. i had to swap them out for 2 from a different brand to get it to work. it is very fickle process at best.

Um. I got another question to ask.
Is there any chance that two R9 270s will be able to play Bf4 or Bf3 with a triple monitor setup?
I'm thinking that they should be limited by the by the 2gb of Vram but I'm not an expert when it comes to gpu's

I would think on medium settings you might be able to play on 3 monitors.
