Do I really have to CrossFire my cards?

Solution


All 290s and 290Xs are overclockable/voltage unlocked

Yes i'm pretty positive

2x R9 270s are slightly slower than a single R9 280X and 3x R9 270 in crossfire is not possible as they only...

I'm going to buy 3 Radeon R9 270. Is there a card that can perform better than those 3 together? They must be AMD.

R9 290 & R9 290X

Can use to mine and game at the same time if you lower mining intensity
 

I would never mine and game simultaneously, o_o. Which version is overclockable? Are you sure one R9 290 can outperform 3 R9 270s?

Your welcome bud hopefully mining pays off for you to offset the big price for the 290s as of now
