Hi everyone , I am planning to get new AMD R9 290 ( not the R9 290x ) but I herd from a Friend that R9 280x in Crossfire are Better than R9 290 . Is it Ture in terms of Raw Power ?

Will I see major differences in Gaming ?

What resolutions you want to play at? If it is 1080p@60Hz then 290 will be more then enough.. also for cross-fire R280X You would need descent PSU.. MB that support it, not much info You give.

in most games yes it would wipe the floor with a single 290x, but cost and power consumption really do make the 290/290x the better buy.
personally if i can afford two 280's i would jump ship to nvidia and get a 780 and save about 150quid.
or if i was gonna be all fanboi and must have AMD then i would get a 290(not x) and hope mantle brings some serious performance gains on the few games that will support it this year.
