hi /g/

I recently got a cheap r9 290x from my friend and I got them into crossfire on my motherboard

My question is: is it worth it to upgrade my mobo? I have a 16x and a 4x slot and I don't think the second board is on its full usage for crossfire

It's not even worth it to crossfire even if the second card is free

I hope you plan to water cool them if you do, I have 1 r9 390, and it's a good enough space heater as it is, but having two of them, Jesus, I'd only do it in winter.

For crossfire each card needs 4x pcie lanes, so you're fine

Sell both of them on ebay and upgrade to a GTX 1080.
