Title: 5970 question - Is a crossfire motherboard required?
Post by: ishav on March 27, 2011, 03:39:41 PM
Hello,

This might be a stupid question..

I was looking to pickup a new graphics card for my PC. So I was looking at the different ATI cards and since the 5970 has 2 cores.
 Do i need a crossfire enabled motherboard to use both cores on a 5970 for bitcoin mining?
