Hi all,

I already have 1 Sapphire r9 280x Vapor-X and was just wondering if I should get another one for crossfire or get the 780 ti?

-Is there a significant increase in performance?
-is it worth the price(780ti)?

Please advise,

Thanks

You have the specs for either solution.
You will win FPS benchmarks with cf R9-280 cards.

The price you pay will be the usual dual gpu issues such as stuttering and screen tearing.
You will also have a noisier and hotter rig.

Unless you are gaming on triple monitors, or a 4k monitor, I would pick the GTX780ti which will do the job very well.
Yes, you will have to market the R9-280X.

Find your parts in used condition on ebay.
Then filter on completed auctions,
In green you will see what the part actually sold for.

Just beware that Crossfire and SLI isn't supported by all the games that are out there, but most games does support it.

Personally i would go for a 2nd R9 280x with the current setup you have. And no, in games that support CF, you should see equall if not more fps with 2x 280x's than a single 780 Ti would provide.


780 Ti will give you performance boost in all games and software since its a single more powerfull card, but its not a card where you get the "most bang for the buck". Its more for performance enthusiast. But its most definetly worth the price for those who want the best of the best. :)
