Hi guys

I have a gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 rev 1.0 MOBO currently installed, with a single Radeon 6850 HD 1GB WINDFORCE graphics card in the top pci slot.

My question is, Is it even Feasible to put 2 of these cards on this MOBO or is the card itself to large. Looking at the current 1 in there it appears as if there might be room, but, if there is it would be very very tight.

Thanks in advance guys

yup, you can crossfire with another 6870 or 6850

Yes, Iv got 2X 6850's on my GA-990FXA-UD3
Pleanty of room between them if you use the 2 16X slots.

My top card is a XFX HD6850 W/ an aftermarket cooler, so it's now a triple slot card. My bottom card is a Gigabyte HD6850 WindForce, and even though there is about a 1/4" space between the two cards, I have no problems runnin' them in CrossFireX mode.

Both cards are clocked at 900 MHz core and 1175 Mhz memory and my temps never go above 65C testing W/ MSI Kumbuster.
55-60C while gaming.

Cheers
