is it worth it?

[lumpy1337]

this is my board
i already have one of these cards

would it be worth it to cross fire another one of those cards?
would i really see that much of a difference?
or would it be better to just run one card and get a bigger one?

I'd say no for this reason. Your second pci e slot. (the one where you'd be installing the second card to) is in fact a pci x16 slot. However it runs in x4 mode. Which means only 4 lanes. So the performance would be crippled. By how much? I'm not sure. But that's the reason I didn't crossfire my own setup. If you really want to you can try it, I'm just not sure if it'd be performing as well because of the x4 slot.

To really get the most out of a crossfire you would need at least a 990x board, with more options on a 990fx. You could do it with your board, it will work but I don't think you'd get a difference that makes up the price of the second 360.
