    Was wondering with the increase in minimum requirements better to crossfire or upgrade with skylake on the way.

    One final thing; I can right now pick up a ASUS Radeon R9 270X Overclocked 4GB for $200or a ASUS GeForce GTX 750 Ti Overclocked for $154, would it be a good idea or wait and get a r9 290x on cybermonday for a possibly lower price

    Was wondering with the increase in minimum requirements better to crossfire or upgrade with skylake on the way.

    So to clarify to see most minor preformance and visual impacts I would have to run a gen3 card with crossfire/sli or can i achieve PCIe 2.0 at x16 with a single card. Just to clarify what your previous post was,because preferably I would just like to get one card.
