Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI wont do crossfire? is it an sli/nvidia board only?

It supports both according to its specs. I can't really say why it isn't working.

Should run XFire, do you have the latest Drivers, are you using a bridge? What GPUs? What PSU?

gpu : sapphire r9 290
psu : i will change it for more power one

i'm just asking about this board, why it's name is z97x-"sli"?

 

[Tradesman1]

Some marketing genius probably decided it would be a 'slick' name or something and forgot to put the CK on the end of SLI

oky, what's your opinion, igabyte GA-Z97X-SLI or ASUS Z87-A better to cfx?

On the Z97 mobos Asus is a step up on the other manufacturers, same as it was on the Z87 line. I'd go the Z97-A, have 6 builds on that model - all of which were great and with a variety of different components, from slower 1866 DRAM on up through 2800 sticks, from GTX 760 on through 780SLI, the A took anything and everything and did it well
