Triple crossfire R9 390x

[silvershades76]

To whom this may concern, I was thinking about getting 3 R9-390X's & putting them in my Asus crosshair v formula z motherboard. I just wanted to know if this will work correctly in crossfire. Also, since there is no longer a bridge card per say, how abouts would I get them to crossfire properly? I apologize if this isn't in the proper sub channel. Thanks

You shouldn't bother. More than two cards will bring only a marginal benefit, alot of microstutter and my-oh-my have you cosidered teh power draw and heat?
You should have a 1000W PSU for that and air conditioning in your room.
I totally recommend against this.

funny you should mention that at the moment I'm running 3 GTX 770s & they are running just fine. That's strike 1 for not answering the question properly & strike 2 for not answering the question in regards to crossfire. All I wanted to know is if it IS possible & I'm looking for an AMD alternative should I look for it. .... Next!

Possible? Ofcourse, if you've got the PSU for it.
Recommended, definitely not. Baically, while two AMD cards scale quite well, adding a third card is a waste of money and can even decrease performance sometimes.

I'm sorry if you don't like what I'm telling you, but I'm quite sure nobody will answer you differently.
Good luck!

Triple crossfire would be an absolute waste of money since in the best case scenario the third card will give you a ~10% increase in performance.
If you're case can handle 3x 390x then it probably can handle two overclocked 390xs which would perform way better than 3.
