hi basically i have a meaty 7870xt ghz ed and as it has tahiti onboard i was thinking about whacking in a r9 280x at Christmas seeing as its the new 7970 and doing a crossfire with my 7870xt i know everyone always says oh but it will just downclock the 280x but i know for a fact that that does not happen anymore and has since like the 5000 series cards so dont give me that but i was just wondering if anybody has actually crossfired the 7870xt with either the r9 280x, r9 280 or even the old 7970 and if so i would like to know what sort of gains you got from pairing the cards and any problems you encountered during the process
also would a 750w corsair 80+GOLD modular psu be enough to power my rig when i stick in the 280x
right now i have the 7870 xt alongside
amd fx 6300
1x1tb seagate barricuda hdd
8gb ddr3 ram (1x8gb stick)
1xpci card
4x case fans
5x usbs
so i am wondering if it will be ok to put in another hdd, powerful cpu cooler an ssd and an r9 280x on a 750w, my rig is currently on a 500w ocz corestream and runs just great
as mentioned above i also wanted to know if anybody has actually crossfired the 7870xt with either the r9 280x, r9 280 or even the old 7970 and if so i would like to know what sort of gains you got from pairing the cards
thanks
