Recently i have been interested in upgrading my gpu since it's only 1g vram but i have no idea how crossfire works. When i play skyrim with enb the enb configs say i have 2762 mb of vram but the card is only 1gb. How is this possible?

P.S. the gpu i have is an AMD Radeaon 7770.

Crossfire is a means by which two, three or sometimes four Of the same Nvidia GPUs can work together in the same machine.

So if u only hav one GPU, u r not using it

The ENB configs may be wrong.

Also, crossfire can't increase VRAM past the lowest card. If you have a 1GB card and a 1GB card in crossifre, you'll still just have 1GB total VRAM. If you add a 2GB card and a 1GB card in crossfire, you'll still just have 1GB total VRAM.

AMD has crossfire. Nvidia has SLI.
