Crossfire r9 MSI 270x and 280x

kkleuang · Nov 24, 2014

So i have a msi 270x and im wanting more out of my system. I was wondering if i cross fire the 270x and the 280x how much watts do i need? i have a 700w power supply. I also found the 280x on ebay for a good deal. Thanks!

you cant do that... you can only crossfire with another same card 700 watts is enough to crossfire two 270x cards

Sweett "wanna get high??" LLMAOOO yues cause far cry 4 is pissing me off playing on medium settings and still getting little frame drops...

kkleuang :

farcry 4 is kind of broken... ubisoft is releasing broken games... the best thing you can do is install the latest 14.11.2 beta drivers from amd.. it boosts the performance upto 50%

Yeah i did lol still little choppy. God i hope the crew isn't like that... Because i pre order that game on steam already i was really excited but i swear if that game is bugged im gonna cry.. hahha

kkleuang :

dont keep your hopes high... ubisoft sucks

they released broken watchdogs and it still isnt officialy fixed

kkleuang · Nov 24, 2014

Yeah i figured hahah far cry 3 was fun tho haha well cause i bought it for like 5 bucks lol. I pre ordered 4 thinking worth it but then not really... lol So do you think its worth crossfiring? i mean i can play most games on ultra but gta 5 is coming soon and idk how thats gonna go.

kkleuang :

a 270x in crossfire beats a single 280x

gta V will be optimised by AMD.. it will run smoothly for sure

blacksheep123 · Nov 24, 2014

kkleuang :

card from any company will crossfire untill it is the same model number

270x-270x

280x-280x

any company can be paired.. asus-gigabyte or gigabyte-msi etc

haha sweet more fans = less heat haha just measured my case and i got room!! for that 11" windforce hhaha it will prollt loook shitty when ppl see the inside of my case but its the performance that counts

plus i need to do a little rewiring too hahah
