No, it is not possible. Software will only allow up to 4-way CrossFire.

I was recently chatting with a friend who was wondering if it would be possible to run 4 295x2's in crossfire so effectivly 8-way crossfire, i personally dont think so but i wasnt really sure, he said he wanted to make an altcoin mining system where they dont have asics for yet and wanted to try and keep it in one system.

My Rig: i7 5820k @ 4.5GHz / Asus ROG r9 390X / Gigabyte x99 Gaming 5P / 32GB DDR4 PNY Anarchy / 256gb m.2 / 2x 120gb SSD Raid 0 / 6TB seagate / Dual Dell 23" IPS / Logitech Orion Spark / Steelseries Rival / AKG 553 Massdrop Edition

a 295x2 is two 290 GPU's already crossfired, but on one card. So as far as I know you can only crossfire 2 of the cards.

yeahhhhh i realize that he was just wanting more power without having to buy a whole new system for the other cards

Even if you could fit 4 of the 295X2 onto the motherboard, you would need a 2000W+ PSU since each 295X2 has a TDP of 500W

it would have been a multi psu build with probably two ax1500i's
