Crossfiring 2x MSI 1GB OC R7790

[Rashy]

I wanna save up to buy another 7790, personally its like my best choice but im also saving up for a new rig.

1. Will Crossfiring the 7790 get better performance than just one <name your GPU here> GPU? Preferrably better than a 660
2. Will my FX-6300 bottleneck it?
3. Do i need to upgrade my PSU? Its Corsair VS 550W btw...
4. Suggestions?

My GPU model is MSI R7790 1GB OC Edition. The rig im planning isnt final decision but if i can continue from SLI 7790's i would get a Corsair H100i and try to OC my CPU to the limits. kthxbye

what mobo do you have?

you could get a better experience if you would sell your gpu (let say £50), spare the 2nd GPU (£80?) and the CPU cooler (£80) and get a 760/770/280X/270x instead and a good but cheap air cooler.

 

I have the Xigmatek Dark Knight, it is £30, cools my sock 8320 to 39 c at prime 95 with 1 exhaust fan on the case

Its on my signature, but i have an MSI 970A-G43.

I dont know why but Hardware Monitor shows the temp for my system not only the CPU but Temp inside the rig. I looked at the BIOS its cooling about 35C last time i checked...

then you have an answer

970 chipset does not support crossfire. well, it does, but you get PCI-E 2.0 x4, and that will bottleneck you hard,so if you want to get CF, you must get a new Mobo, and there goes the budget

When do I get a Linus Montage?

i would say its not worth it, with only 1gb of vram it willl have the power to play 1080p but not the vram

 

also i think your psu would need a upgrade 

[Rashy]

Well then, onto my new rig plans;

1. CPU: i5-4670k
2. MOBO: Asus B85 Pro Gamer
3. GPU: 770
4. PSU: Corsair CX600M

Any content that is missing is going to be reused... This isnt final decision but whoever is reading this thread pls do suggest some. Cpu and Mobo is a combo, cost about USD 20 Cheaper....

 

OOT: SHIT MY BOX THAT USED TO HOLD MY 7790 IS A FUCKING ANT NEST. So thats where the ants are coming from. Hope the Warranty doesnt require a box... i just dropped a dozen ants into my shin and its itching like hell, not to mention these are FIRE ants... Oh dear theyre in my pants now...... btw have i mentioned that i have no SSD?
