Hey guys, I know that it is possible to crossfire these two cards, and I have seen it proven in various reviews, but I was wondering if anyone here actually used it. Reason why is because I have a 7870 XT and just bought a 7970 because they're on sale for such an awesome price right now. Let me know if you are running this combo and how it works, thanks!
 
You cannot Crossfire those two cards. I know the 7870XT is a Tahiti chip, but the 7800 series cannot Crossfire with a 7900 series.

No, I know that you can crossfire them, it's been proven. I was just wondering if anyone here actually does it, and what their particular experience is like. Also Thanaos Telos, where is information stating that the 7970 will downclock itself?

Splendid
like I said if you ask over at overclock forum where there are 20 or so active tahiti LE owners I know a few of them have crossfired with 7950/70 and such. I know that 2 tahiti LE will give you benchmarks that are inline or better than a Titan. So it can be no worse than that.
