+1. interested to know this as well. would a 7970 pull back r-280x performance if CF?
a few games bench will be sufficient - especially those heavy game like crysis n etc. can this be done bro owikh84? blush.gif

To cut the cost? With game bundled the price won't be the same already.

Alright, I would Crossfire this 280X with my reference 7970 by tonight. But I will still use the Catalyst 13.11 Beta V1 for comparison. Stay tuned for the update.

Thanks for answering. To be honest, the price is way below my expectation. I predicted it would be priced at RM1.7k like Maximus 6 Formula lol. Thanks God that I was wrong.

This is a bargain! I dont care for free game(s)... 1.5 is reasonable

Here you go... Some in-game benchmarks of Crossfire between 280X + 7970 OC at 2560 x 1600

Bioshock Infinite: +99%

Aliens Versus Predators: +90%

Crysis 3: +80%

Far Cry 3: +72%

Battlefield 3: + 101%

The results suggested that CF scaling is awesome.

^Many thanks for the CF results. notworthy.gif
the scaling is superb for BF 3 and BI and others is great too. this should be an incentive to CF with 7970.

2x 280 or 7990 sure > 290X haha
