Will it crossfire?

Pierre3400 · Jan 23, 2014

Ages ago, I saw that someone ran a test on which R9 series will CFX with certain 7000 series cards.

That said, I have a buddy with a 7850, and i want to get him a GPU for CFX as a bday present.

Will 270 and 270X CFX with his current 7850?

To be safe, get a 7850. Amd website.will tell you though..

Isn't the 270 based on the 7870? Not the 7850? Though not sure if that makes a difference?

AMD put them in the same section on the website R9270/270X and looking at clocks it looks like 7850 and 7870

I am pretty sure they can since they are similar as was mentioned above. However, to be sure, grab the same exact card.

I think TTL mentioned they are compatible at some point, could be wrong though. IIRC however the 7850 and 7870 were CFXable.

I recall the 7850 doesn't have a direct rebrand. The 270 is a standard 7870 and the 270x is basically a ghz edition 7870.. Because oc the 270 and the 270x to a similar clock and you have the same type of performance. The 7850 was still a slower card.

That said yeah they can probably be xfired but I would still just err on the safe side and grab a 7850 as EarthDog mentioned.
