Hi all, so this is my current setup:


CPU: Intel Core i5 3570k ( no oc ), cooled by a Hyper212 Evo Turbo
GPU: Msi R7950 3GB Twin Frozer 3
Mobo: Gigabyte z77 d3h
Ram: (2x4gb) Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz
Hdd: 1x 500gb Seagate , 1x Adata 120gb ssd, 2TB Seagate
Psu: Corsair TX750m
Case: Coolermaster Storm Scout ( Changing this soon )

I would like to Crossfire my HD7950 since it is probably the most cost effective upgrade for me. Computer equipment is still quite expensive in my corner of the world unfortunately. My question is, I notice my motherboard says it supports PCIE-3, now does this apply to both the PCI-E graphics card slots or just the first one?

Thanks

Yes both slots are PCIe 3.0, with Crossfire on your motherboard the top card will run at x16 speed, with the second at x4 speed.
