828475 2009-11-09 06:26:00 Hi, am keen on some advice as a search on google has yieled mixed results. I have a Sapphire 4870 512MB and will soon get a Palit 4870 1GB Sonic off a mate. Im pretty sure I can set this cards up Crossfire but dont quite understand the clock mismatch thing everyone seems to be talking about on Google

Can someone confirm I shouldnt expect any issues? Also does the different memory amount matter?

Cheers in advance

edit:Dual? www.palit.biz

Sapphire:
Memory Clock 1800MHz
Memory Size 512MB
Memory Interface 256-bit
Memory Type GDDR5

828477 2009-11-09 06:34:00 thanks - i know the Palit is the factory overclock sonic version which has a switch onboard kinda like a turbo switch. The Sapphire is standard.
Are you saying I cant Xfire in this case?

You can but i think the Sapphire will OC itself to the palit's clock speed (not 100% sure though)

828479 2009-11-09 07:33:00 The OC'ed Palit will downclock to Sapphire's clockspeeds. Also since the Palit is 1GB it will match Sapphire's 512MB. qazwsxokmijn (102)
