i've never crossfired.
why are you worried about doing it?

i've got a 760 and i'm considering crossfiring it with another when the prices drop...i got the one i have now for $250.
if i can get another one for $150 next year then i might rock that SLI setup.

im still debating

I'm guessing it was some sort of power issue
it was motherboard capability, then the card was broke and would work by itself but not in crossfire but past return to store time period and it was just too much head ache to figure out why it wasnt working.. then theres big crossfire cables and short crossfire cables and of course I had the short one but needed a long one.. just a head ache

i'll keep the cable length in mind.
my mobo is made for SLI so i'm good on that.

My mobo was breeded to cross fire. But my question is,what does cross firing do? If i only have one monitor,is there any point in cross firing?

2 graphics cards pulling weight together.

1, 2, 3 monitors....whatever.

you are increasing your graphics power with 2 of the same card vs only one card.
