I recently got a second HD 6870 as a gift that I installed for Crossfire. In case it matters, they do happen to be different brands (one is Sapphire, and I can't remember the other right now). Definitely had some weird issues since I installed. On the good side, my 3dmark score almost doubled so I know it was doing something right off the bat. However, practically, a few games I tried seemed to lag actually more than were with just my single 6870 – Titanfall even had super strange graphic artifacts.
The second issue is that, seemingly without warning, my computer just immediately goes black screen and a fan in my computer goes BERSERK. I think it's one of the GPU's. I mean, I have a Fractal R4, designed to be quiet, so I don't normally even hear anything from my computer at all, but the SECOND my screen goes black I hear the fan whir so disturbingly loud that it makes me jump in my seat. Alarming :/
So... I have no idea what I'm doing, are these issues even related?
Thanks!
