new PC set up

ASUS M5 A97 r2.0
AMD FX 8320
16gb Crosair Vengenge 1600mhz DDR3 ram
800W crosair PSU
Sapphire HD7870 (soon crossfired)

The truth is crossfire blows. Not a lot of games support it and you would be better off spending the money on a gtx 770 and save £50.

If you are adamant you want to do it, you system is good and will support sli/crossfire no problem

after trying and speaking to AMD them selves i was advised that the x4 would only work on earlier GPU's and that it wont work on the hd7870
I have them both in with the crossfire cable atached but no crossfire option both are showing in the device manager as radeon hd78++ series and also in CCC they show as a primary adaptor and a disabled adaptor
