can a STRIX R9390 crossfire?

[JitaJosh]

Will a STRIX-R9390-DC3OC-8GD5-GAMING  Card crossfire?

 

I want to add another card down the line if i want to upgrade to 4k.

 

Also how large of a power supply would i need for 2?Would a 1000w cover it?

[thekeemo]

Yes. But dont get the strix please. It is probably the worse 390

[Kobathor]

That would go to Gigabyte's. Worse than reference.

What he said- don't get a STRIX. Get either an XFX, Sapphire, MSI, or Powercolor. Those are better coolers. I would say Sapphire's are the best, then MSI, XFX and Powercolor are on the same level.

Strix 390s are probably the worst of the 390s.

 

If I were you, I'd so Sapphire Tri-X/Nitro for pure performance or MSI GAMING G1 for software and customer support for a 390.

 

Also what PSU?

why is it so bad? I kinda just ordered one solely on looks as the 390's will all perform with a few fps within each other and the temps/noise seemed acceptable

Cooler doesnt cool the VRM and other pretty important components

[thekeemo]

Yes it does:

That looks tacked on and not done right.. I could be wrong though.

Also WHO THE HELL PUT THAT PASTE ON

hahaha I never knew the difference was that big, STRIX coolers on Radeon cards really are pathetic

It's a thermal pad with a heatsink on it, how is it 'not done right' lol?

 

It's even making full contact, you can see all the indentations..

Look at that metal plate. Does that look like its transferring heat to the heatsink? To me it just looks like a piece of metal bolted onto the heatsink

Strix 390s are probably the worst of the 390s.

EVGA by a LOOOONGshot.

It's pretty much one of the best quality PSUs ever made, barring server PSUs from the likes of Delta

EVGA all the way

but you dont need that much wattage unless 3-4 way CF

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

Just coming through to clear the misconception. Asus strix/dc2 has vrm cooling. The same type as you will find in msi and saphirre cards. It's the vram heatsink that they're lacking. Do not get confused.

So smaller? 800, 850?

[thekeemo]

800w is enough but I can't think of any good 800w PSUs so we go 850w g2/GS/xtr pro/seasonic g

hmm will a EVGA 850 80+Bronze cover the 2 of them?
