hello and welcome back to tech of tomorrow we're bringing you guys all the tech all the time now most people know that a new line of cards from a and B has launched and there's been a lot of questions surrounding these cards of how they'll work in crossfire with other gen cards so the main test that we're going to be showing you guys today is the new r9 280x used in crossfire with a semi 970 gigahertz Edition video card now we did run into a few little snafu here and there but we did get it for the most part to work without any problem with a few variances here and there which we'll get into and talk to in just a second right here I've got the test station back here behind me it's based on has well it's got 32 gigabytes of Patriot VIPRE memory Xtreme it's got the 4770k got an Evo 612 cooler on there all in all a pretty solid test ation we got the hero motherboard from a Zeus back there that's a really good solid board for doing testing on and with that said let's actually jump in and talk about some of the problems and some of the things that we discovered by trying to get these two cards to run in crossfire now first of all one of the things that we noticed is that you cannot have the r9 280x is the primary card you have to have the Civ a 970 gigahertz card as the primary card in order to get this crossfire configuration to work now as you can see in different applications we got different results showing which card is which in GPU ID and in the unit engine they showed separate cards they showed the r9 280x a separate card and they showed the 7970 as a separate card but we ran the latest 3d mark it showed both those cards as 7900 series card so some of the software out there is taking a while to catch up like I said we originally got the cards the card strictly showed as 79 70s after a BIOS update and a driver update then the card showed to be r9 280x card so maybe the same things happen out there with some of this test software maybe in the future when these guys do an update will they'll show all the cards as being you know what they are but for now you guys can see the results of varying but you can successfully crossfire a 79 70 gigahertz card and an r9 280x so I hope you guys really like this video if so hit that like button down there and show us that you like it all the information will be down there in the description button as well if you're not following us hey hit the sub button back here behind me and I'm Alec we'll see you guys back round teka tomorrow for more tech now tomorrow for those folks interested we will have the crossfire results of the new r9 280x but for those people who stuck around and watch the video down the link the description below we'll have a link to that right now so if you're an early bird you want to check that out go and check out the link in the description below you guys can also click right here if you want to I'm Eric and we'll see you guys back here on tech boom are and be with you
