Sli on my old mother board

[Kylepatel24]

Hello everybody, I am looking to save up my money for a r9 390 or a gtx 970 I want to play the latest games and future games on relatively high fps (60)1080p..so could you tell me which one is the best?

I also want to know if my old gpu a hd5800 (yes people it's shit) and I was wandering if I got the r9 390 if it would work will the hd5800.

Now here's the problem, I have a pre built pc from around 7 years ago 2009 or 2008 and they stopped making these in 2010 I think. And basically I want to upgrade my ram as in my other threads ,that was a problem. But now I want to know if I can use both these gpu's at the same time heres a picture of the motherboard from the manual http://imgur.com/bwtQal0 as showed here It displays a lot of gpu ports. Soo I'm wandering if from that time when this motherboard was created If I could actually have both these gpu's running.

Im going to check today my psu watage but the manual states 750w-1000w psu

Thank everybody,kyle

Hi, what make and model is the motherboard? Can't really tell if it supports Crossfire based on just this picture. I think you'd be better off just going with a single GPU because I don't see the HD5800 adding much performance to your games as the R9 390 is well suited for 1080p at 60FPS or higher.

what would you say would be a better option for a gpu a gtx 970 or a r9 390?

Sorry for the late reply. The R9 390 would be a better card to choose. If it was R9 390 vs GTX 980 then I'd say the 980.
