[stubbornness]

Can i use GVR or VCE with a R9 280, if not should i get a 760 or a 270x and later crossfire it i have a 750watt silverstone strider power supply, and can i crossfire a 4gb saphire 270x with a 2gb 270x

A 280 doesn't have video codec engine, only the X version of the 280.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Codec_Engine


VCE 1.0
This version supports H.264 YUV420 (I & P frames), H.264 SVC Temporal Encode VCE, and Display Encode Mode (DEM).

It can be found on

Piledriver-based
Trinity APUs (Ax - 5xxx, e.g. A10-5800K)
Richland APUs (Ax - 6xxx, e.g. A10-6800K)
GPUs of the Southern-Island-Generation. These are
Radeon HD7700 series
Radeon HD7800 series
Radeon HD7900 series
Radeon R7 250X
Radeon R9 270 / 270X
Radeon R9 280X
VCE 2.0[edit]
Compared to the first version, VCE 2.0 adds H.264 YUV444 (I-Frames), B-frames for H.264 YUV420, and improvements to the DEM (Display Encode Mode), which results in a better encoding quality.

It can be found on

Steamroller-based
Kaveri APUs (Ax - 7xxx, e.g. A10-7850K)
Jaguar-based
Kabini APUs (e.g. Athlon 5350, Sempron 2650)
Temash APUs (e.g. A6-1450, A4-1200)
Puma-based
Beema and Mullins
GPUs of the Sea-Islands-Generation as well Bonaire or Hawaii GPUs, such as
Radeon R7 260 / 260X
Radeon R9 290 / 290X

would you reccomend going with 270x, which i will crossfire in the future or a 760. and can i CF a 4gb and a 2gb version

That doesn't make any sense. The 280/280X have the same chip. It does list the Radeon HD7900 series, which is what the 280/280x are.

so u think it will work with the raptr desktop app or amd gaming evolved?

You don't crossfire AMD cards but SLI. Yes you can SLI the 760.

I would just stay with the 280.

Backwards. You do CF AMD cards, you SLI Nvidia ones. You can CF a 4GB 270x with the 2GB 270x.

Not sure as I don't use either. And I have a 7950, not a 280. Those should be the same card however. It was just a name change. The chips are still the same. The 290, 260 are new chips. Anything that has the audio engine built in. Gaming evolved is AMDs marketing campaign AFAIK, I have no clue what raptr desktop is.

Yes, AMD R9 280 does support VCE.

The reason why it's not listed to support VCE is simply because the press release of VCE was written prior to the launch of the R9 280.

I'm currently streaming with my Intel Xeon 1230v2 + ASUS R9280-DC2T-3GD5 smoothly with the VCE in OBS. More information on how to enable VCE in OBS: http://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-fork-branch-with-amd-vce-support.13996/
