R9 290X or 2x R9 280X Toxic Sapphire?

RakOOn · Oct 26, 2013

How would you go? Is it worth to spend money on double cards and crossfire them or just to buy the r9 290x? For gaming and video rendering etc...

I would not buy the 290X before they come with better cooling solutions. If buying now the 2 x 280X.

No crossfire has lag issues, 290x or 780 is better deal.

SO if the r9 290x gets better cooling in 2014? Would you go for that?

RakOOn :

Yes I believe we will start seeing better cooling in a few weeks.

Really? Well it's worth going for that then.

go with single card option,Crossfire has its issues like Micro Stuttering,overheating .

Go with 780.

Go with Crossfire.

AMD has/is fixing the micro-stuttering with their Crossfire technology. Just use their latest beta drivers when you get your GPU.
