AMD Radeon RX 5700 cards do not support CrossFire

While NVIDIA enabled NVLink SLI support on the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, as the card is based on the TU104 GPU, AMD did the opposite with its new Navi-based Radeon RX 5700 series GPUs. TechPowerUp writes AMD is no longer offering CrossFire support for these cards. The handful of users who want to use two or more cards will have to hope for DirectX 12 and Vulkan "explicit" multi-GPU mode support.

Radeon RX 5700 Series GPU's support CrossFire in 'Explicit' multi-GPU mode when running a DX12 or Vulkan game that supports multiple GPU's. The older 'implicit' mode used by legacy DX9/11/OpenGL titles is not supported.
