3) Message boards : Number crunching : system design (Message 73625) Posted 15 Aug 2012 by stevew220 Post: i have a slightly above average computer (built myself) am running windows 7 x64sp1, based on an MSI 890fxa-gd70 board, 8gb of transcend aXe ram, with an AMD fx4100 3.6ghz quad core cpu (cpu is slightly oc'd to 4.0ghz)and an amd/radeon hd5750 1ghz graphics card. my question is, if i add another graphics card but do NOT configure it for crossfire, can Rosetta access this second gpu for processing? or would a second(additional) gpu have to be linked to be usable?
