Alright so I have $100 or so bucks I was gonna invest into a new hard drive as I need a bit more space but this idea hit me out of the blue: Crossfire my what I'd consider powerful AMD card with a lesser one.
Would this work? Could I crossfire my ASUS R9 290 with an older AMD card in the $100-$150 range? If so how would I do it and would it even be worth it FPS wise? I was thinking maybe this could assist me in holding off on GPU upgrades in the future for a while longer lol. That is if it works. I also read somewhere on here that it's possible but they had some chart but it was 4 years old and didn't show any newer cards.
Edit: This may actually be a dumb question but hey, gotta learn some how!
My specs
------------------
i7-3770k @4.5GHz
ASUS Maximus V Formula
16gb Transcendence memory @1600MHz (2x8)
A-Data 256GB SSD w the usual 500 something R/W
500GB Storage Hard Drive
Corsair H60 Liquid CPU cooler
AMD R9 290 @1GHz not OC'd
Aaaaand....Windows...........not 10! ha, Windows 7.
