Hello my friends. I just want to ask if Triple CF is possible with HD 4870X2 + HD 4870 or not. I looked up for it but didn't find anything. Does anyone know?

Thanks...

The CF with the 4870X2 is only 2 Cards... With an normal 4870 you can go up to 4 Cards(with compatible motherboard indeed)

You can mix an 4850 and an 4870 as i know... but you can give it an try...

With CrossfireX, any platform only supports up to 4 chips. So if you have 2 dual-chip cards, you cannot add a single-chip card to the system.

I'm asking for Triple CF. I mean a HD 4870X2 and a HD 4870 (singlu GPU) can be CF mode like HD 4870X2 + HD 4870? HD 4870 will have equal memory and speeds. (Totally 3 GPUs). I'm planning to buy so before buying I need to know.

enzolt

yes you can. its called CrossfireX for a reason. X = {1,2,3,4}

Yes you can. I actually had a triple setup here on my DX48BT2 intel board for some time until I got another 3870X2. If you are using an intel chipset, as long as you have an X2 card mixed with a single you are okay. The trouble people get into with a board like mine is the third pci-e slot is only 4x so if you use 3 single cards the third slot will actually bring down performance. You can only use more than 2 single physical cards on an AMD 790 chipset.

honestly folks in my experiences both Crossfire and SLI lead to more stress than enjoyment, in most cases a single GPU is a better route

Yeah, just one really kick ass one often does the trick better than two of half performance, especially when your slots limit bandwidth.
