hi i have one r9 270
and wonder if i can get another and crossfire one (cuz i saw a relly cheap one and thinking of getting it)

so my motherboard is MSI h81m-p32 : http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H81MP32.html#hero-overvie...
it got one pciE x16 and one pciE x1 and 2xpci[non (E)] x8

so can i crossfire using pci x8 to pxi x16 raiser cable : http://www.ebay.com/itm/19cm-PCI-Express-PCI-E-x8-to-x1...

and if i can would i get some real bottle necking in transferring data or it will be not that big deal ?

and thanks :)

x1 will seriously bottleneck the system, and I'm not sure if it'd be recognized as CFX in first place, as MoBo doesn't support it. I'd advise against it.

Motherboard doesn't support crossfire. No risers or adapters will fix that.

you would need a pci-e 1x to 16x cable but this still would not work as it would severely cripple the card and would net you now performance gains.
