saurabh_1e · 01-06-2010, 09:38 PM

Will Two HD 5670 will work on cm real power 460 watts
with phenom x 1055t
msi 890gx
4 gb gskill ddr3 ram
2 x hdd
1 x odd

for crossfire do you need some extra cables or something else ?(learned from somewhere one graphic card should be master this is confusing me)

according to me
procy 150 w max
mobo + hdd + odd =75w
gfx 150 w max

total = 375w

and what will be cost of sapphire hd 5670 will two of them will be under 10.5k
i want a crossfire so don't recommend 5770 or any other single gpu.

It doesnt need a connector.It outperforms a single HD 5770.
But I wont recommend it.Because its the waste of a crossfire.Get a HD 5770 now and add another HD 5770 in future.Thats the best way to go.

+1. add 1 more point. crossfire not very efficient, in compare to SLI. so go for a single HD5770.

Wanted to crossfire this time.
cannot crossfire 5770 because nor my psu allows me neither my budget.
will buy one 5670 right now and one afterwards or .............just a single gpu 5770 after sometime.

better get a single HD5770 in a latter time. that will be better.

for now OC IGP & check how much fast games run.

That is contestable now...! Xfire scales quite well, specially when gaming >= 1920 x 1080.

so scenario has changed. heard a ton that Xfire not able deliver much good compared to SLI in majority of games.

I also plan to do the same. Have Hd5670 right now. I will add one more HD5670. I presume VX450 should drive this crossfire. Just want to crossfire for the heck of doing it

no.....stick to this:-

MSI HD5770 HAWX 1GB GDDR5 @ 9.6k

Do read this. The Xfire delight is HD5770. They kill a 5870 even..! But remember guys, for Xfire please be on full HD, else it is useless.

saurabh_1e · 02-06-2010, 12:06 PM

problem is i want to crossfire which is possible only with 5670 because 5770x2 costly and my psu is a limitation.so will be going with 2 x 5670 and this is all for fun man!
even a 5670 will suffice my need
just want to try this also.

you answered your own question. if a HD5670 suffices for now. take a HD5770 so it'll be enough for a couple of years (provided you don't go HD gaming).

if the above point valid for you, why asking about Xfiring 2 HD5770. thats a overkill for both you & your PSU.

Man..you are doing a gr8 mistake.Just buy a HD 5770 for now.Then in future
after a long time when you get budget sell your PSU and buy a HD5770+PSU
Otherwise you are wasting your money in 2X 5670.

saurabh_1e · 02-06-2010, 01:05 PM

i asked about 2 x 5770
because i just wanted to something new (xfire new for me) just doesn't require even two 5670 just for fun.
my thread started only asking if 2 x 5670 will run on cm 460
but it reached till here

use the cooler master PSU calculator & decide yourself.

others advised not to follow your plan cause you'll be the one having a loss.
