760 sli or r9 280x xfire

Evil Joker · Apr 26, 2014

I know the r9 280 is better... But Sli has less problems than xfire if we put 2 on the same board, wich one will win?

Stick with the R9 280x in my opinion. Keep in mind that PSU is cutting it a bit close on the wattage side for SLI or Xfire.

Also you can get better RAM at that price.

I'd always say take sli over crossfire. If it was a 290 or higher that supported crossfire on the pcie bus instead of the bridge then I'd recommend crossfire. Take the 760's in this situation. Have you considered one good card over a multi GPU setup?

Even if crossfire had issues I'd still get two R9 280X cards over two GTX 760s.

760's SLI looks better but I would go for system with single powerful GPU like this.

A single powerful GPU is always better in the end especially in frame time variance and compatibility. Lots of gamed don't support multiple GPUs and if they do its down the road when drivers are released for it. Take a 780 or 780 ti
