Ok i was thinking of getting either a 1000w EVGA G2 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-003-EA&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2465 or this since there both on sale http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-021-SF . Any insight on if either of these would be good...

yes bit i have 2 gpu's and each one i believe uses more power than the 980's

My system is currently a fx 6300 with a corsair h80i cooler on a msi gaming 970 motherboard with 2 msi r9 280x in crossfire,1 tb blue and a 500gb Hdd, 8 gb 1600mhz ram which currently runs off a corsair builder series cxm 750w psu. If i upgrade the cpu to a fx 8350 and add a ssd as the boot...

so would upgrading to a fx 8350 and overclocking that reduce the bottleneck enough to get really good performance out of the r9 295x2?

Iv noticed that you can get a xfx r9 295x2 for around £480 which seems like a pritty good deal to me considering how amazing fast this thing is. My question is will my current psu, a corsair builder series CXM 750w modular 80 plus bronze be enough to power this monster. Also how badly will my...

So for going down the route of intel, i understand that the asus ROG motherboards are the best. I might as well spend the extra money and do things properly this time so i don't end up spending more money down the line to upgrade to soon.

So if i wanted to upgrade hardware without splashing out for a £250 i7 and intel motherboard would getting the fx 8350, overclocking it a bit and getting something like the Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Motherboard be good and would this leave options to upgrade to a more powerful single gpu or...

Also if i reinstall windows and try the latest amd beta drivers is this likely to help? I just want the most performance out of this as i can?

I checked this before the cpu is usualy anywhere from 85% to 100% and is usually above 90% but both gpu's are also running around 90% when i look in msi afterburner. I dont to have to upgrade the motherboard or the cpu i just want to be able to get the performance out of the crossfire setup that...

I have a amd fx 6300 overclocked to 4.1 ghz. Should i be looking at upgrading to a 8350 and will this give me the performance from the crossfire that i should be getting? Or is it that the 970 chipset isnt any good and i should be looking to upgrade to a new mother board like this...

I only think the lanes are running x8/x8 is there any way to make sure they are or to see the speeds there running at?

Yep crossfire is enabled in drivers, every game i have tried i have had no or only about 10 fps increase in performance. Looking at benchmarks of 280x in crossfire it should be pritty damn quick but things like assassins creed 4 maxed out at 1080p im only getting around 30fps with or without...

I currently have a msi 970 gaming motherboard and 2 r9 280x in crossfire but not getting much of a performance boost if any. Is this due to the board not having good enough support for crossfire. I believe both lanes are running at 8x speed, would it be worth upgrading to a board where both can...
