Many gamers upgrade their systems over time, and one of the most cost-effective ways to add performance to an existing rig is to add a second video card. AMD's Crossfire technology allows users not only to add a second identical card, but to add any card within the same series.

But what type of performance increase can one expect from such a mixed Crossfire, or "FrankenFire" arrangement? And what are the effects of AMD's new frame-pacing driver on such mixed Crossfire setups? We aim to find out!

Unfortunately they used the beta 2 version of 13.8 with the PCI-E bug and as they didn't disable ULPS one of the lanes would have been running at PCI-E x1 for the entire test of 13.8.
