Background:
I am a prospective buyer of two used HD 6950s and two used HD 6970s looking to Crossfire them in two systems, respectively.
Problem is the motherboard I have now only has one PCIe slot, so I can only test each card individually.
I am looking to upgrade my systems very soon once I've acquired the cards.
Questions:
Is it safe to assume that if both cards seems to be in good working condition separately that, once Crossfired with working bridges and driver optimizations/profiles are set, they will work well together?
What sorts of problems could I run into that are hardware-related?
Thanks in advance for anyone who has any knowledge and experience related to this.
