so what is your psu? How mant watts? Efficiency?

Thermaltake 530 PSU 87% efficiency

With a 530w 87% efficiency psu you could run two r7 250s but it could stress your psu but if your fine with that you should go for it. The upgrade will defiantly give you a performance increase (probably by about 50-% as the second gpu will be on a pci.e 2.0 slot). Just remember you need adequate cooling in your system so it doesn't get to hot in there but other than that you should go for it.

You could crossfire two R7 250 but most people on Toms dont recommend crossfiring lower end cards,So maybe sell that R7 250 and get Nvidia 750Ti or R7 260X.

Arcanine thank you so much you really helped me a lot tons of thanks.

 

[viperneto]

is r7 250 lower end?
and what's the difference between 250 and 260x?

The r7 250 is a low end card but its a nice budget card. The difference is that the 260x has a stronger gpu core. But crossfire r7 250's should out perform it.

 

[viperneto]

arcanine can 250x still work with a normal 250?

 

[ericjohn004]

Sell that 250 and a get an R7 265 or GTX 750Ti. That is your best option.

 

[ericjohn004]

No, you cannot crossfire a 250x with a 250. The cards have to be the same model card.

 

[Arcanine300]

arcanine can 250x still work with a normal 250?

I don't believe so.

thank you all for supporting me i really needed that.
