No, sorry man, you can't.

 

Here's the AMD CrossFire chart that'll answer your question. :P

Personally, I would just save up a bit more and get another R9-280X anyways.. It's the smarter option IMO.

You live in the US? Buy this 7970 (rebranded to the name of 280x) for $140 http://www.mountainmods.com/xfx-double-fx797gtdfc-p-737.html?osCsid=00v6fmuc2n8mmklcgdepoh6lm4

 

and yes, it would work fine, but there will be 1ms of difference in frame rendering times if you did crossfire your 280x with a 7950. I don't know how amd smooths this out in their drivers, but I guess they do it good enough.

You can crossfire, but it's best if you got a 7970 or a 280x to CF with instead.

Looks like that chart's outdated, it doesn't mention anything of the r9 2xx series. Also, it can crossfire with the 7950.

Wait.. Wtf. You guys are right. I had it in a notepad, and I could've SWORN I updated it with the R9 series & all rebrands.. Well anyways, just google AMD CrossFire Chart. If you go to Images, from what I recall, It'll take you 30 seconds for the new chart.

 

Sorry, I would do this for you as I did already, but that's cuz I had it on a cloud file (i'm on a phone @ work, very limited activities :D)
