hi,

first the graphics card i use:
-asus amd radeon hd 7950 directcu 11 top v2

so i have thinking oh upgrading my pc, i have heard that you can crossfire a 7590 with a r9 280x (it has the same architecture or something),so the question is that should i buy a r9 290 or a r9 280x and crossfire it, but which one of the options is the best one.

please answer with informative comments.

Hello,

Please list your full specs (MB, CPU, PSU).

For CF the 7950, you will need a good PSU, over 750W (min. 550W/60Amps for +12V rail). You can use a second 7950, 7970, R9-280 or R-280X.

If you have a good PSU (> 650W total, min. 450W/45Amps for +12V rail), better buy an R9-290.
