I ordered one of these, it was about all I could afford. Has anyone tried these in crossfire? Would that be a good idea considering the cost of R9 280

I have the R9-270 setup in crossfire. When I checked out the other R9 cards, I found this to be a very good deal considering the cost. So far they are solid performers and I am able to play all my games with max settings. Haven't tried some of the newer titles but I am confident in saying you will not be disappointed.

Do you have a pci express x16 2.0, 2.1, or 3.0 and a powersuply of more then 400w with either a 6 pin connector or 2 molex connectors? If so, then yes. ------------------ Under further reaserch of the bored you(hopfully) don't yet have I have to say is EXTREAM OVER KILL. that board runs 200 ish here on amazon and you only need all the stuff it has if your trying to run a server while edditing videos/ rendering them. this is a mid-range card an the motherboard you speak of is the low of the high. sooo you would be better of with the gigabyte 270x or up or a duel set up with this card. If you don't know about what I speak (since you don't appear to know much about compatibility ) I would suggest a cheaper first rig, and also something newer. getting a good bored is important but aim for a newer one. reaserch research a d research. and more research. YouTube helps a lot. I hope this impute was helpful, good luck with the build!

Yes, it is Crossfire ready and comes with the bridge. However, I don't recommend this GPU for crossfire as the low-end GPUs have a lot of scaling and drivers issues. It is always better to get a single GPU card. Buy the HD 7870, you'll save a few bucks and get the same graphic power

Crossfiring two of these cards will equal a 7970 and the new Catalyst drivers have gotten rid of the microstutter. With the current prices of 7950s 7970s, and 280X units I think I would sell this card and replace it with a newer version unless you can get another one at a great price.P.S. This card will still keep up with all current games without dragging if you have a good rig to support it. Another poster says CF is a good deal if under $250.00. I don't agre, under $130.00 is about right. AMD cards are getting less expensive fast with the mining craze dying out.

Probably not enough to warrant the cash it will cost you. A few frames per second here and there at 1080P resolution would not be enough to entice me into this card over the r9 280X. I would hold out until next year and see if there are any monumental leaps in power to maybe a card in this price range that could actually put up decent number in 4K. Just a thought.T

Depends on what your video card what what else do you plan to run with it. I use a Corsair HX 850 but I crossfire 2 AMD R9 280X.

AMD has moved to XDMA CrossFire, what this means is that all communication between crossfired cards occurs over the PCIE bus as opposed to seperate connectors. This has resulted in fewer frame time variances and less stuttering in crossfire configs.In short, Yes. Although you may want a beefy PSU.

it's just for one. i think the prices have gone up because this card is no longer manufactured. You might want to try looking at the new amd r7 line of cards to get a better price

Yes, I have 2 R9 280X cards in crossfire and they fit, there is a little gap in between but as you know most Nvidia cards heat less than radeon cards.

hi George this is my first ATI card, and what I have read about crossfire is that they would work fine, though pick your clock rate and power supply wisely, my card can do 1140 stable with premium cooling I have a 3750k overclocked to 4.6 with 8 gig of ram 2 ssd dvd. I made the mistake of using a 700 wat power supply. power failures were frequent don't underestimate what 2 will need.

I tried crossfire with 2 7870's gigabyte cards with a 850 watt thermaltake power supply and it wouldn't work. I recommend no less than good name brand 1000 watt power supply. However a 1200 watt would optimal.

What would you like to know about a CF set up? I have it set up in CF and my brother has it crossfired with a 7950. Both setups are far beyond optimal graphics with not a single issue yet... coolest crossfired cards I've ever owned.

Yes it will be enough, you could even run it in crossfire and not see a bottleneck.

I would say much better. A friend bought a 7750 and took it back to get this card for just $30 more. He said it was a big improvement. I stay away from the Catalyst drivers, they seem buggy.

Most if not all amd video cards come with a crossfire bridge. Check the detailed tech specs on the market page.

No because this is an nvidia cards crossfire will only work with 7950s but the video ram can be different and the brand can as be different but it is best to pair identical cards

First, you realize that this APU allows for a crossfire configuration with some brands of AMD low profile GPUs correct? If you are already aware of that, then the next question is, does your motherboard actually support crossfire? If the answer is yes, then great, but keep in mind not all games are designed to run in crossfire mode and may actually suffer performance because of it. I actually just recommend one really high end GPU if you are really insistant on buying a GPU. I can't tell you what cards to crossfire because that is all a matter of opinion. I'd recommend you read reviews on NewEgg and then make a purchase based on that. Keep in mind this APU really rocks for the price it is at, I'd recommend trying it stand alone before buying a new GPU, it might save you some money.
