the video card can, and hopefully you bought an identical card to crossfire it with...

the real important question is, will your motherboard support crossfire at all ?
so I ask what is the make and model of your motherboard.

Yes, you can Crossfire those two cards. The Crossfire bridge is required.

Yes just have purchased. I assume one of the cards will downgrade to co op with other ?

 

[madmatt30]

The 7870 will downgrade to 7850 level yes.

 

[black0identity]

The 7870 will downgrade to 7850 level yes.

OK jus to be sure,

1. Will I need additional PCi cable for second card ?

2 Will my 600 watts will run this ?

3 Did I do right by upgrading RAM for another 8GB G.Skill 1333.


Thanks.

1. 7870 takes 2 x 6 pin connectors .
7850 takes a single 6 pin.Yes you need all power cables connected.

2. No idea, what psu is it exactly ??
If it has a pair of 8 (6+2) pins or a 8 + 6 pin then yes pretty much.
You would need a 8 to twin 6 pin splitter to plug into the 7870.

3. More ram is never going to hurt anything.

Aa mentioned you also need a crossfire cable to join the cards.

OK. so my PSU is GS 600(Crosair)

If you don't mind Please could you sent me all links or at least full names ( I am completely lost now ) what connectors,/cables do I need to buy to put second card 7870 work along with rest of the PC.

I have fully connected 7850 plus Crossfire bridge cable has been ordered.

Thank you for your Help.
