Crossfire 5770 (x40€) or forget it ?

[Egorka]

Hi there! Have a question about my new Hardware I'll buy , maybe you can help me...

Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 ( people say is better than GByte...FXUD3 )
AMD FX Series FX-6300

I've yet:
Kingstone HiperX 1333 Mhz CL9 2 x 2GB
Gigabyte HD 5770 <---
Corsair H70 water cooling
Corsair 500W 80 Plus Bronze
HDD 500GB x 2 RAID 0

In the future I will replace that 1333 DRAM or try Overclock them.
Can AMD FX 6300 work with 2133 DRAM ? ( OC )

Is better Overclock DRAM 1866 CL9 to 2133 or Downclock 2133 CL11 to 1866 if my mobo doesn't support that frequency ( Dual Channel )
The price is basicly the same for 1866 and 2133.


And the other question is about make Crossfire with second 5770 GPU ( 40€ ) : - ) is good option or better forget it ?

Worthwhile yes you may see some improvement gaming and if spending the money isn't a big deal then do it. Though, you're better off getting something newer with more VRam like a 2Gb GeForce GTX 750 Ti will run circles around the 5770. Additionally AMD Cpu's do not work well with crossfire/sli.

As far as adding ram to the 6300 you're best bet it getting something like Cas 9 1866 I suggest G. Skill because they seem to plug and play well with AMD chips.

Hello again ! Finnaly I bought the 7950 130€ Refurbished 1 year warranty hope works like R9 280

7950 is a much better card then the 5770 you should be very happy with the increase in performance. Good Luck
