Would running 2 (2GB) AMD R9 270X cards in Crossfire, bypass the DAG limitations on VRAM size?
I made the mistake of thinking my single 2GB R9 270X running alongside my 6GB GTX 1060 would work out. However the DAG has exceed the 2GB limit as of this post and now I can no longer run both.
See output from Claymore's:

GPU0 - not enough GPU memory to place DAG, you cannot mine this coin with this GPU
GPU0 - OpenCL error -61 - cannot allocate big buffer for DAG. Check readme.txt for possible solutions.

WATCHDOG: GPU error, you need to restart miner :(
Restarting OK, exit...
I have read Can you mine with 2GB cards or less? Thinking about the DAG issues already and I understand combining seperate cards in one mining terminal would not work, however my inquiry is more so about combining them on the physical level with SLI/Crossfire.
