hi, i could use a little advice here.
My current Graphic card is Dual-x R9 280x Sapphire, could it crossfire or dual graphics with Gigabyte R7 250?
Or Could my cpu bottleneck the dual graphics?

My PC Specs:
1) Fx 8350 8 Cores 4.0 Ghz
2) GIgabyte Motherboard AMD AM3+ S938 GA-990FXA-UD3
3) Dual-x R9 280x Sapphire
 
Solution
No, you can crossfire the 280x with the following:
another 280x
r9 280
7970
7950

Shouldnt bottlneck much with that CPU, although I would recommend overclocking if you have a good CPU cooler.

Even if you could crossfire a R7-250 with a R9-280X, crossfire performance would be severely affected by the wide performance gap between the two GPUs. You would end up with tons of runt frames and be better off without the R7-250.

Crossfire and SLI need GPUs with similar performance to work properly.
