So apparently in crossfire or SLI if you have 2 1gb cards you will still only have 1gb of graphics Ram.
How can this be. Does one card not use its graphics ram or do both cards scale down to 50%.
I have read that both 1gb Ram is being used but I can't understand how you could have both gigs being used but only a 1 gig potential it doesn't make sense.
Its like saying I put another 2 gig Ram stick in my mobo to get 4 gb but its only still 2gb but both are being used. How does that make sense. If both are being used then both are obviously available thus you have double.
Crossfire renders frames to card by card so not 1 card is doing all the work. Thus each card has its own ram so. Oh I just answered my own question. I figured it out so each card does one frame then the other does the next and so on.
Wait how does a game run Faster like this if its just a single card taking turn by turn and not them working together. It should be the same speed as one card since only one card is rendering the frame at 1 time.
