Could I crossfire this card with the WindForce 280X?

Any brand that has the compatibility of the same architecture R7 or R9, and requires least 700w or greater

Yes you can. I hope you have a good enough PSU to suffice the power consumption of those babies. A 850w PSU will do nicely!

If you are replacing your current card, any X16 GPU slot will work, you can find what your motherboard supports and base off of that. If you are trying to Crossfire this graphics card with another card, check the AMD support page to find out.

The R9 280X will pull around 225 Watts at full blast. You should be ok with the rest of your hardware and a 750 Watt power supply.

If it helps you at all, this 280x runs at about 300 watts under a full load, figure out your power consumption from your other components and always leave alittle extra. I always get a power supply to big because then in the future ive got enought for another card or something

AMD has moved to XDMA CrossFire, what this means is that all communication between crossfired cards occurs over the PCIE bus as opposed to seperate connectors. This has resulted in fewer frame time variances and less stuttering in crossfire configs.In short, Yes. Although you may want a beefy PSU.

As Noah said, no you cannot. You can only crossfire cards from the same series. In your case another 5800 series card.For example:You can crossfire a 7850 + 7870, but not a 7870 and a 7950.

No, you need a 2nd, exact same card, Sapphire 7870 gHz edition oc to crossfire

280w is more than double what you would actually need to run this thing. It only draws around 30w. The most the PCIE slot can provide is 75w, so you're fine.

Laura is correct. Radeon R9 290/290X use a new processor codenamed "Hawaii". You can crossfire 290 + 290x, etc. Radeon HD7970/7950 use the previous gen processor named "Tahiti". AMD rebadged the HD7970 to create the R9 280X so a 280X can be crossfired with an HD7970/7950 (3GB or 6Gb are ok).

I'm running a couple of AMD 6850's in Crossfire. You can compare the dimensions of the cards to see if yours will fit. I'm guessing they will. It's a fantastic case with plenty of room.

Yes. AMD Crossfire works between all cards in the same generation. So any 7800 card will work with any other 7800 card, irrespective of make. See thishttp://sites.amd.com/PublishingImages/Public/Graphic_Illustrations/WebBannerJPEG/AMD_CrossfireX_Chart_1618W.jpgMake sure both PCI-E slots on your motherboard are 16X. They should be the same colour.

AMD card are the only ones do Crossfire technology, Nvidia cards have S.L.I(does the exact function). This card can do up to 2 way S.L.I, so if you have 2 pcie slots and decided to get two of these you'll be able to run them together in S.L.I

Yes. With the mobo you can actually use upto two pci-e cards like this in crossfire.

Yes, currently I'm running mine with a corsair 480W builder series. For the most part the GPU is low power and runs directly off the motherboard.

Not sure how well CrossFireX will scale across 4 GPUs. I personally have a 1200w PSU for one of these cards. According to Tom's Hardware the card only draws 450w at full load. Can't link the article at the moment on my mobile.

Yes it can and does support both SLI and CrossFire (both Graphics being the exact same). Just make sure you have power supply that will handle the power requirements of your Graphics card as well as the other peripherals in your computer. When I made the purchased my original Graphics card required 650 Watts so I went with a 1200 Watt Power supply. With the newer Graphic cards I've noticed they are not requiring as much power anymore.

I am sorry I do not know the answer to your question. I will say I am liking this card and will end up getting another one to crossfire. Good luck.
