Quick question, I have the MSI R7265 2 GB OC gpu. Id like to crossfire it, but i don't want to pay $200($120 more than I originally paid for it on NewEgg 3 years ago.) My question is, may I get a complete list of other compatible(preferably cheaper) cards?
 
Solution
u can get lower end card but than both of them will run at lower speed not rly worth it. edit: u dont have to get the same brand 265 u can pare it with any other brand i that helps

Any gpu that uses the same family can cf. In this case, you have pitcairn which was also renamed from curacao/trinidad and rebranded over 3 series.

7850, r7 265, r7 370, r9 370 < these are 1024 cores
7870, r9 270, r9 270x, r9 370x < these are 1280 cores

But I'd recommend you not cf. You'd be better off just getting another gpu.
