Question 3

Where is the crossfire bridge?

Accepted Answer

crossfire is now supported by software that does not require a bridge.make sure that your motherboard is crossfire compatible with two x8 slots at least also check your processors PCI lane capacity some lower end processors may not have enough lanes to support more than 2 8x graphic card connections if the processor has less than 16 lanes I don't believe that you can run crossfire and you definitely can't run SLI.check with your motherboard manufacturer and read crossfire setup at AMD website.

Question 4

Crossfire question... This very well could be my lack of understanding of crossfirex. I was under the assumption that in order to use crossfirex you had to connect the two graphics cards via a bridge connector. I am looking at this card and I do not see where to plugin the crossfirex bridge connector. What am I doing incorrectly?

Quote:
The top of the card has no CrossFire X connector but AMD have said the R7 250X will support hardware and software CrossFire. That means you can enable CrossFire with or without a connector so it doesn’t really matter for end users either way!

Question 5

I just put this card in my computer. My computer is compatible as far as it has a 430 watt power supply and a PCI gen2 slot (the card is PCI 3 which is backwards compatible). Anyways I currently have my monitor hooked up through the new card. Yet it is still running the old integrated graphics card... I suspect this is because there is no driver installed for my new card, but I have searched and searched and cannot find the correct driver! There is no disk. Why isn't my card being detected and fully installed and... used? Confused and frustrated here.

Accepted Answer

Braden:  Check your BIOS ... it sounds like you've been running up till now using the video circuit integrated on your motherboard.  So, your BIOS probably has that selected as your video signal source.  Now that you've installed the new video card you'll need to go into your BIOS setup and choose the new video card as your primary video source.  Also, don't forget to connect the new card's power connector to your power supply.  Regarding the installation of the driver for your new video card ... just go to the AMD website, select the support tab and choose the R7 250X product, then download the AMD Catalyst package.  It will include the latest driver for the card, plus the full Catalyst suite that allows you to customize your video display, as well as overclock your video card, if you wish.  Enjoy!

Question 6

will this card work with the intel dual core 2.50mhz?

Accepted Answer

As long as your mother board has a PCI-E video card slot and your power supply has the PCI-E plug in.  it will work, If your mother board has on board video you may have to change the video source in the BIO'S from onboard to PCI-E

Question 7

Is this actually a single-slot? Doing a quick google search some of these are and others arent.

Accepted Answer

This card only uses one case slot, but is thicker on the fan side and requires more space. My computer is a BX board workstation and this is the biggest and best card that fits in my case. Recommended.

Question 8

can this card run games like rift and such?
and i have 7" of room max it say its 6.69" think it'll fit? not good with a ruler lol

Accepted Answer

I play Dayz with this card on normal graphic settings no problem. It's not a big card, but the pcie power connector is on the side facing the front of the case. Your cable might not allow it, or it will be a very tight fit for 7"

Question 9

will this card work well with a dual core 2.50mhz ?

Accepted Answer

I don't see why it wouldn't. I have use this card with an AMD a4 a6 and AMD 5350.it performed well on the AM 1 platform which is PCI 2.0 X 4. I'm not sure what your concern is if you can get it at the right price.I don't think you should get a much more powerful card since your CPU would be the bottleneck.

Question 10

Will this card work in a Crossfire configuration with an HD7770 card?

Accepted Answer

yes, it will x-fire
