I was wondering if it is possible to CF my current AMD 7950 with a newer card, possibly an R9? I understand the new ones have bridge-less connection so it's unlikely to work, but what about other cards? Will it work?
 
Solution
These cards all use the same base core architecture so they are all crossfire compatible.
Here are the cards you can crossfire your 7950 with:

7870 XT
7950
7950 boost
7970
7990
r9 280
r9 280x

You will get the best performance if you match as closely as possible the new card with your current 7950. The CF array will run at the speed of the slowest component, so it doesn't make sense to go with something like a 7970ghz edition etc.
