I'm not sure if this would work, but I was wondering if I could crossfire an xfx r9 290x 8gb, with a XFX r9 290x 4gb. The only thing I could see a problem with is the gpu's distributing vram equally,I think it may work but I feel like the 8gb might get cut down to 4gb.

You can but you will be limited to 4GB VRAM then.

If my understanding is correct, the 8GB card will essentially become 4GB.

Yes but you will only be allowed to use 4gb of VRAM

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.
One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

You could do it but you would only have 4GB of usable VRAM.
