Question 1

I have an XFX Radeon 6850 in my case currently and I'm trying to decide on my next card purchase. Would this be able to run in Crossfire with the XFX? My rationale is that two cards in Crossfire will probably run better than a single card, and doing so would save some expense. Thank you!

Accepted Answer

it will work. as long as it's the same series (i.e. 68xx) the brand doesn't matter.

Question 2

I have BIOSTAR TA970 motherboard. I installed this card but I'm not getting a signal when I hook it up to my monitor. Any ideas or do i have a bad card?

Accepted Answer

Ensure you have the PCI power connectors (2x6-pin required) attached, as this card pulls too much power for your motherboard to handle alone.

Check if this card works with another rig before you dismiss it.

Does your power supply have the capacity for this card addition? In most cases, any PSU above 450W (500W to be safe) will have the capacity and connectors for your purposes.
