Asus Strix O8G RX480 (Stock: 1330Mhz) (Current: 1400Mhz)
Sapphire Nitro+ OC (Stock: 1342Mhz) (Current: N/A)

The Sapphire is on the way, the reason they're different cards is because I cannot find another Strix for equal or less than how much I paid (got mine cheap! on sale) landed a Sapphire and just worried if I'm going to have issues OC-ing a crossfire as I've never done it with SLI/CF.
Does anyone have tips? or is OC-ing multi-brand cards just..."unsupported"

1) Seeing as how they both have their own software, which should I use?
2) If I tweak one, do the settings carry over to the other also(because different brands)?
3) Should I aim for 1400 or settle for something like 1350? just asking about tips.

Thank you.

I think you should use asus one, but using MSI Afterburner should be able to oc both cards at the same time. They are very close in specs/sppeds, even leaving them at stock settings would be fine. Faster card will prevail, but you should be fine at stock setting really.
I would like to see more people relate to this, AMD has new drivers it would be nice to someone do CF 480 again if there is any difference from when they were released.
