Can I run dual GPUs

HSGPORT · Nov 24, 2013

I just want to ask can I do dual GPUs??

here are my machine's specs:

ASUS M4A87TD motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 Black edition 965, 3400 MHz (17x200) processor
ATI Radeon 6450 ddr3 1GB OC version
2x2GB RAM DDR3

I want to know if I can run DUAL GPUs with crossfire with this motherboard and video card. The second GPU I want to buy is the same as the first. Is it worth it to make crossfire with 2x HD 6450 or its better to buy a single 2GB card?

i dont think you can CF that caed.

jay2577 · Nov 24, 2013

The 6450 is a weak non gaming card. If you can crossfire 2 of them they will still be weak.
I suggest something like the AMD 7770 at least for gaming. The 7850 for playing with decent image quality settings on the newer games.

You can run two AMD cards in Crossfire if the board is the M4A87TD EVO
But not if its the M4A87TD/USB3

Yes there are two versions of the board. Find out which one you got. Don't ask me how.

It's better to buy a new single card because the 6450 is weak and old. If you want to, I can help you find a suitable one. Just tell me your budget (in your local currency) and the store (website) you're going to buy from.

i was just asking if i could do a CF and if I will get benefits from it. Im going to buy new card next year maybe.
Thanks for everything

I think next year im gonna buy one of these, and if you guys can help me choose would be wonderful.

Btw my motherboard is this http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4A87TDUSB3/#specifications

The site im going to buy new card is http://www.emag.bg/video-karti/filter/ram-pamet-mb-f57,2048-v1983/slot-f21,pci-express-2-0-x16-v1989/price,between-100-and-200/sort-priceasc/c translate it from bulgarian to english if u want

For that budget which is around £40 to £80 i would recommend the MSI HD 7750 2048MB for £65.99.

I don't know what the prices are like in Bulgaria but the link I put is for an English shop which will ship to Bulgaria if it's better/cheaper for you

Your motherboard doesn't support Crossfire. A GT 630 is not much of an upgrade...

A that Bulgarian site a 7750 2gb would cost 144.49 лв

I see that this card http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-183-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1699 needs PCI 3.0 if im not wrong and my motherboard doesnt have 3.0 ??? And i looked at the prices of my site and the overclockers.co.uk and it seems that in overclockers its cheaper.

huilun02 · Nov 24, 2013

It will work fine in a slower speed slot. At that level of performance the card would never require PCIE 3.0 speeds

jay2577 · Nov 24, 2013

Your motherboard is pci express 2.0 and the card is pci express 3.0 yes. BUT the card is backwards compatible with pci express 2.0 and it will work in your mother board just fine. I am 100% sure as my graphics card is also pci express 3.0 and my motherboard is pci express 2.0.
Overclockers is very reliable website shop and I have been using them for 8 years without any problems. I hope I have been of help to you

I cant really undestand the delivery from overclockers but I see the prices and its not worth it buying card from there but anyways. Thanks for the information everyone. Next year i will consider buying this card.
