Hey there, i have an AMD Radeon 7850 2GB and i'm on a bit of a budget here, i need to boost my graphics power as i'm only getting about 30fps on the ESO beta :/, so basically the title asks my question, will any of the new R7 or R9 cards crossfire with my old 7850?
if so what should i look for in the new card to make sure they will be able to crossfire.

With AMD, I believe that as long as the architecture and memory sizes are equal, Crossfire will work fine. Meaning that as long as both cards are GCN like the 7850 (Which most R7 and R9 cards are) it should work just fine. For simplicity's sake, though, buying a new or used 7850 would be a nice idea

A 2GB R9 270/270X would be the best options for you if you can't find a 7850 anywhere. The 270 is basically a re-badged 7850, so whatever performance people get with two 7850's you should get with a 7850 and a 270. I would double check though, I'm not entirely sure AMD Crossfire works exactly how I explained. Google it, is my suggestion
