Installing a second graphics card
I'm going to be installing a second graphics card . My original one is the same as the additional one that i'm adding (Sapphire Radeon R9290 TRI X OC 4GB) and need to know how to connect my monitors . I have a triple screen set up (3x47" HDTV ). I also need some thoughts regarding using crossfire bridge ribbon or not using it . My motherboard (Asus Sabertooth FX ver 2.0 ) allows crossfire without the crossfire ribbon. Thanks for any help in advance !
P.S I have a 1000 w PSU and both cards require 250 w. Is the PSU enough?
Sorry mate can't help myself, being an Nvidia man, I will say apart I think for iRacing SLI and Crossfire setups do seem to cause issues with Sim Racing, most going with a single GPU solution, so be prepared for some headaches, might be fine but just a heads up.
Maybe shoot spazsterian a PM. He's a big time AMD guy. He may have some info for ya.
