Crossfire: same brand and number, different card?

Jucey · Apr 5, 2012

So i currently have a Powercolor 6850 SCS3, which is their silent version. I would love to be able to run crossfire, but i just want to check that i could run another powercolor 6850 card in crossfire, even though they are different models. Just hoping someone on here will have some experiance with this.

Thanks in advance!

Any HD6850 card will run with another HD6850 in crossfire so the answer is yes!

Yes, any other 6850 will be fine.

for best results choose a 6850 with the same GPU and Memory speeds as your current card.
