Ok so,
I have 1 ATI 6990 and 1 ATI 6970 in crossfire atm (yesh yesh clocked everything correctly and such, it works perfectly fine, that's not my question)
The 6990 is plugged on the 1st slot and my 6970 in the 2nd (meaning the 6990 is the one sending out signals)
But is it possible to plug the 6970 in the 1st slot and still get the same performance?
I'm asking this because I don't like the fact that my 2 cards are literally touching each other.
the 6990 has rubber thingies that could keep them at a certain distance from each other but they are at the top of the card (meaning they are useless).
Here are pictures to help clarify. (srry in advance for quality, used my phone)
