Thread: Can i use hd 5670 & hd 6670

Today i have got hd 5670 ddr5 1gb card. now i want to know can i use my previous hd6670(ddr3) & new hd5670 both in my gigabyte x58 ud3r motherboard or can i make cross fire with them?

what a waste of money that you could have used more efficiently. As far as I remember, there is a slight difference between the HD6670 and the HD5670, so you wont be able to crossfire these two different generation of cards like one from 5xxx and the other from 6xxx series. and even if you did crossfire two HD6670 GPU's, then I doubt if it will hardly even be equal to a 6790.

These aren't even mid range cards that qualify to even run games at 1920x1080, if you really need to save money and want AMD for some reason then get something from the HD68.xx or HD69.xx series, or the HD58.xx series, Or you can get something from nVidia like the GTX460 1GB or above or a GTX560TI or above.

If you take my advice, I'd say return or Sell the Cards, use the funds to buy something half decent..

Actually I don't buy it some one gave me. as an extra card i want to use it with my hd6670. can i?

I see..But Mijan, I dont think you can Crossfire these two cards together, they are both somewhat different
see this..

OK but can i use them together? or can it help me in any way? Because I don't want to waste my hd 5670/ 6670.

no u cant use 2 cards from 2 generations at the same time.....BTW why dont u sell those crap cards n buy a new good mid range card?

I just wait for the gtx 560 super overclocked / gtx 580. this cards r not available in bd gigabyte shop.

Bro 560 or 580??whatz ur budget range??n y from only Gigabyte??change ur manufacturer choice to Asus or MSI those are better than GB....MSI 560ti Hawk II is available in BD which is 22k.....& Asus GTX 580 DC2UTOP is about 37k....

what is the meaning of 22k/ 37k

hazar. k means hazar.
22k = 22,000

And why are you doing gigabyte gigabyte all the time if other manufacturer's are available in BD?
No need to buy gigabyte if MSi or Asus is available. Asus has equal if not better quality products.

If you are going to buy 560 then make sure its the GTX560Ti and not just GTX560. and If you have the budget to buy a GTX580 then there is no need to buy a GTX560Ti. However, I suggest you wait till march 2012 before buying anything. AMD HD7970 is here and the nVidia GTX780 will be here soon. Meaning the prices for all current graphics cards will drop when the new stuff hits the shelves..

I'm using gigabyte products for a long time & I've got good performance on it. I don't know much about asus/ msi performance.

that's utter nonsense. there is nothing to know about performance. So whats your point or reasoning exactly, ASUS GTX580 or Gigabyte GTX580, Its the same card. If you buy a Gigabyte GTX580 do you think it will magically create more performance out of thin air, will it magically create more than 512 Cuda Cores? Its all about the quality, the warranty and the price. And you see that's the problem. you dont know much about the market or the hardware. What are you going to do if the Gigabyte cards dont arrive? What are you going to do if the Gigabyte card featuring the same thing costs more than other cards? What are you going to do if Gigabyte goes out of business tomorrow? will you stop buying computers and computer parts? Hard to understand your attachment with gigabyte, because I dont think it will make much sense to anyone

It will be a very stupid decision for you if the only reason you are waiting is for a Gigabyte card while Asus or MSi is available. These are the manufacturers, they aren't eg. Intel, AMD or nVidia, They dont "make" the chip.
Asus, GB and MSI they are all top brands in the market. Personally, I own a few small shops and coming from experience I generally avoid Gigabyte products and prefer premium grade EVGA or ASUS products.

Anyhow, good luck with whatever you want to do, but before you make up your mind, please counsel with someone, seek advice before you spend the money unwisely like you did with the i7 930, a 500W PSU, the HD6670 and 4Gb of Ram. Just think things over yourself or with someone before you do them.

use different n u will kick of GB.....as u said u dont know about MSI n asus then give'em a try n c how poor gb performs which is visually a good performance to u bro....
