Hello there.. This is Morgan Freeman and I have a question you ask you young hipsters...I currently own a F2A85-M Pro Mobo and I have a 7870 in it already I would like to know if I could add another 7870 for crossfire? I have a A10-5800k Processor and it says it has Crossfirex Support and the motherboard says it has Quad Crossfirex Support but I am not sure if it means dual graphics with the processor or actual crossfire with 2 discrete G cards. I would also like to know if My processor will be bottlenecking with 2 graphics cards. Thanks
 


The motherboard does support crossfire. However, while playing CPU intensive games your CPU will be the bottleneck and you will most likely not notice a performance gain from crossfiring. You may even have a performance hit.

Is there anywhere online where I can see benchmarks with that build? and what if I overclock the processor would it still bottleneck? Thanks
