I'm still puzzledd by this, because technically nothing speaks against hybrid crossfiring the A10 with a GCN card. It doesn't work on PCs because there is only one AMD driver. In theory you'd need two drivers for a A10/GCN hybrid, so welcome in "writing-a-driver-hell". Probably takes major thinking (The Portland Group (PGI) and AMD are working on the PGI Accelerator Compilers, for example). |
Yes, I find it strange too, considering that A10 GPUs (which are VLIW4) can be crossfired with VLIW5 hadrware - so why not with GCN? I do admit I don't have required knowledge to fully understand all the intricacies of CrossFire, but I would assume they could make those 2 GPUs work togethr (now when I think of it, wasn't there quite some time ago a rumour just about that, using some different approach in pairing GPUs?)
