Good day everyone!
I'm on my first computer build and I'm down to only the video card. Originally, I had planned on obtaining the Radeon 6870 first and then adding a 2nd one via crossfire later this summer.
While discussing with a couple computer buddies of mine - one of them mentioned that combining the intel cpu with the amd video card results in some driver incompatibility.
He suggested I go with the GTX560 (not Ti)....
Does anyone have history/advice regarding this situation?
BUILD:
i5-2500k (3.3 now - soon to be 4.0)
z68ap-d3 MO
16g G.Skill 1600mhz RAM
80g SSD
1t 7200 rpm barracuda HDD
Coolermaster 212+ heatsink/fan
Antec 900 case
corsair 600w psu
Windows 7 Pro
