GA-880GM-UD2H is the motherboard i have and on about 3 web sites i have looked it up it tells me that is supports crossfire mode but they guy who sold it to me says it does not.
Ah well better you know now...I dont think that board supports crossfire. It supports "hybrid crossfire" (crossfire between the onboard graphics and a single graphics card). Also that motherboard only has 1 pciE x16 slot. The 4850 uses a pciE x 16 slot and im sad to say it but that motherboard only has one.
Any way you can swap motherboards at the last minute?
at least you found out now and not when you go to put it all together. If possible i would say get something like the ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AMD 790X. It can be had for under $200 and will run two graphics card at good bandwidth.
Yeah iv all ready got one card but I'll just use it for now would it be worth paying for another motherboard do run crossfire or just stay with this one and get a good single card.
Yeah I play games like fallout 3 and I'm planing to get fallout 3 new vages. If I wer to get a second card and new mother board will it be a simple swap over or will there be more to it than that. All this help is much appreciated.
Firstly be sure about compatibility of the hardware that you are going to pass over to the new mobo eg. CPU and Ram ... then do your hard yards researching for what mobo offers the best performance/price ratio and that is compatible with CPU and Ram and should do it. If unsure it pays to ask questions here in the forum, there are many here that know a lot about this things,
ok so i have a amd phenom 2 (6)core and im using 4gb ddr3 ram 1333. and a sata HDD. i am more than happy with this set up i just want a pit more ram and a motherboard that supports crossfire, i all ready have one ASUS RADEON HD4850 512MB now im just hunting down another. any advice on a mother board will be much appreceated.
