R9 280X Crossfire (2x) Enough for 5760x1080 Gaming?

Carson Walker · Nov 30, 2014

For games such as BF4, is this enough GPU power for 60+ fps on high-ultra settings? Also, how much wattage should I be looking at? I will also be looking at a new motherboard since my current one does not support Crossfire or SLI, can anyone recommend me one? And one more thing, can a R9 280X Vapor-X go Crossfire with an R9 280X Toxic?

Thank you for your help with my plethora of questions

Maybe. If you take AA out of the equation, it probably will. I run med/high settings with a single 780gtx at 5760x1080. Use this psu calculator http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp Yes, you can Crossfire any other 280x, but it will revert to the slower of the two gpus clocks.

For current games 2 r9 280x will match up 5760x 1080 resolution performance, But in some games you need to adjust advance settings.
But in future, the performance will somehow degrade (not very much,but to some extend).
For Power you should be looking for 750w psu, 750w psu is good enough to crossfire r9 280x.
What's your system specs, without it, i can't suggest any mobo.

The architecture of r9 280x vapor x & r9 280x toxic is same, so yes you can crossfire them.

I have 8GB of RAM (some off brand as I bought this premade from Best Buy -.-)
i5-3570k CPU
500 GB HDD

The cart you are showing in the link will automatically become empty if i open it, So just text the parts on the forum., btw the LGA 1155 socket is compatible with your Cpu.

yes good to go, the combo seems to be pretty nice.
But make sure you have extra fans on your chassis as heat will also go up due to crossfiring R9 280x.
