Posted November 26, 2015 There are no dual GPU cards that have two 280X's. maybe he's refering to a 7990 witch is a dual 7970, 280xs are "rebrand" of 7970ghz ed. sooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 26, 2015 There are no dual GPU cards that have two 280X's. Technically the 7990 is just that.

Posted November 26, 2015 Closest card you could get to 2 280X's would be a HD 7990, and a 980Ti would likely outpace that. specially 2 980Ti's in SLI. a 7990 or 280X's in crossfire would be more comparable to between a 970 or 980 (maybe more up with the 980) Hey bro i like yo *vomits on you* SpOOkY - Intel Core i7 4820K - Sapphire Radeon HD 7970GHZ Toxic Edition 6GB - 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz - Gigabyte X79-UD3 - EVGA Supernova G2 850W My GrApHiCs DeSiGn TeAcHeR Is GoInG To bE sO MaD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 26, 2015 maybe he's refering to a 7990 witch is a dual 7970, 280xs are "rebrand" of 7970ghz ed. sooo Still not really 280X's. But yes, that would be the equivalent.

Posted November 26, 2015 Crossfire. Not SLI. I just remembered that . Honestly though 2 7990's/4 280X's/HD 7970Ghz's wouldn't be a recommended option over a 980Ti. 1 4 Way Crossfire would have quite the bit of issues + Not all games will scale or work with it so well. 2 To power such thing you'll likely want a 1300W-1500W PSU, so factoring in the costs of the PSU (about 250-300$) and the 4 cards (about 600-700$) it'll be kinda not worth it over a single 980ti, you would be as well as stretching a little and putting a 2nd 980ti in, which would blow the quad 280x's out of the water. 3 The Existence of the R9 295X2 and Fury X And Crossfire R9 390's 4 Bigger Noise and Heat output + Not the greatest of Overclocking ability (7990) 5 Quad 280X/Dual 7990 would only have a 3GB Buffer Compared to the 980Ti's 6GB 6 Features, Yaddi Yada. + Yeah yeah i know it's Crossfire it was a mistake i've not been concentrating too well today, don't start rubbing it in (Potentially anyone seeing it ) Hey bro i like yo *vomits on you* SpOOkY - Intel Core i7 4820K - Sapphire Radeon HD 7970GHZ Toxic Edition 6GB - 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz - Gigabyte X79-UD3 - EVGA Supernova G2 850W My GrApHiCs DeSiGn TeAcHeR Is GoInG To bE sO MaD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
