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?
The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
