can i use this with a XFX Double D R9 290?

I dont see why not, I run my sapphire r9 280x with no problems. I believe the requirements for that graphics card is a minimum of 650 watts.

Yes, but only with specific Radeon Graphics cards... I believe the following will work, but I recommend going to AMD customer support website and verify: Radeon HD 6670, HD6570 & HD 6450

Yes, I have a 290X & 7950 running on this unit with 7+ inches of extra cable on both PCI-e power cable leads. This Unit has been running 24/7 on full load for weeks!

Laura is correct. Radeon R9 290/290X use a new processor codenamed "Hawaii". You can crossfire 290 + 290x, etc. Radeon HD7970/7950 use the previous gen processor named "Tahiti". AMD rebadged the HD7970 to create the R9 280X so a 280X can be crossfired with an HD7970/7950 (3GB or 6Gb are ok).

Yes - I'm actually using an R9 270X with it right now. That range of card ($150-$250) is a great fit for the APU processors for a balanced system - any cards more expensive than that and you start to find that the rest of the platform is holding you back (depending on the game of course).

No, this board is for AM3+ and AM3 processors only. That means FX series, but they work great. I use a 7970 and haven't had trouble playing games, but if you have large graphics requirements (I have a 1440p monitor OC'd to 120hz), you might need SLI/Crossfire setups, which need more cpu punch. I am personally confident however that an 8350 with this board should handle dual graphics setups without difficulty.

I have one of these and the graphics card I use requires PCI Express 3.0 so I guess the answer's yes. It's a VisionTek Radeon HD 7750 SFF (Mfr#900549) which I chose because Dell recommended it. You can go to Dell.com and see what they suggest to get an idea of what you can add.

Yes, this will run in the optiplex, however it will be limited to due to your PCIe slot only being 1.0, but it should work.

You can only SLI with the exact same chipset. Meaning, you need this card, as is, x2 ($1000+) (also you really wouldn't need that for anything, the 780 on its own can do a beast of a job)

Yes the XFX HD 7970 will work with a 500 watt PSU of good quality. But only 1 of the cards if you go with more than 1 you will need a bigger PSU.

If you are replacing your current card, any X16 GPU slot will work, you can find what your motherboard supports and base off of that. If you are trying to Crossfire this graphics card with another card, check the AMD support page to find out.

Yes. We have a Geforce 650 TI in it. It has (2) if you wanted to go Sli or crossfire.

The R9 280X is a rebranded HD 7970 GHz so it is technically possible but not necessarily officially supported. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/63551-will-crossfire-r9-280x-hd-7970-scaling-tested.htmlR9 280x <-> 7950/7970R9 270x <-> 7850/7870YMMV!

If by "double" you mean dual dvi, then yes it will work. The connector is dual dvi. My 3D monitors run at 60

It should work fine, though I haven't tried. There's two DVI outputs and one connector in the GTX 650 card.

Unfortunately, according to the ATI Crossfire compatibility charts on the AMD website these two cards are too far apart to be successfully Crossfired. Your R9 card can only be hooked up with another R9 or an R7 graphics card.

I have this case and two R9 270s in crossfire that are 10.5 inches long and there is still a couple inches to spare. So they should work unless you're buying the three fan gigabyte R9 290 that's almost 13 inches long.
