You don't need a GPU of the exact same type to crossfire, just similar is fine.
If you have a 7850 you could drop in: 7870, R9 270, R9 270X and of course the 7850 and it will work fine.
However, if you go down that path you would need: A New motherboard and a better Power Supply Unit.
| Bruxel said: what is a crossfire? came with video card. when we finnally put all the peices together added all the cables in the right spots. whats left was to add the system fan. but... the plug on the system fan it self was melted to the extreme, manufacutors fault.. so i guess i could just bring in the whole tower and see what they say as its all built. or would they make me take it all apart? that be a huge hassle. I sure hope everything works this has been a scarey, intresting procsess |
Crossfire is the act of combining two graphics cards to yield up-to double the rendering performance, it's a cheap way of increasing performance when your PC starts to feel lacking.
As for the fan, I wouldn't worry about it, just go pick up a new fan, screw it in and get going. :)
I use Arctic Cooling fans for cost sensitive PC's due to their price and reliability.
If you wan't something high-quality, you can't really go past Noctua, unless you wan't a fan with stupidly high air pressure, noise be damned, where the Corsair SP120 reigns supreme.
