Hello everyone,

I'm having an issue with my graphics cards not being directx 11 compatible.
I built my Computer around 5 years ago and haven't really had any issues until I got this failure notice. Here are my Computer Specs.

Mother board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
GPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... I have two of them.

Now I'm currently in the process of looking at just upgrading my GPU instead of building a whole new system to save money. I have a few questions regarding this though.

Is it possible for me to just buy a new GPU and install it on my motherboard and crossfirex both of my old GPUs? In order to do this I would have to buy a couple PCI extenders because of space. I don't really care if it looks pretty inside the case.

If I am able to crossfire my old GPUs to my new GPU would it be able to work with directx 11 anyways? What are the pros and cons of doing this?

Any recommendations on a GPU to use? I would like to keep the cost below $200

I know it seems kind of silly but those graphic cards have worked so well for me over the last 5 years and both of them are 2Gig each so it seems smart to want to link them to the new one.

Thank you for browsing and thanks a bunch if you can help with my question.

No you can't do that. You should be able to get a decent gpu under $200. R9 280 or a GTX 760.

no, you (usually) can't crossfire with cards of different generations
