oh.. so you DO conside a card with more memory and higher clocks differen by name?! So with your logic, a 290x with 8gb and higher clocks is a 290x.5? It's still a 290x bub.. you make no sense and are in denial. And I suppose so is every one like this: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/sapphire-vapor-x-r9-290x-8gb,3977.htmlAs opposed to "refresh", which is having different physical characteristics, be it core clock or mem clock, with possible minor tweaks to the chip itself.

My interpretation is that the toxic is clocked at 1120 mhz core while the tri x is 947. I'm not surprised it's beating the slower clocked card.
I'd keep the toxic since it's clocked higher and has more vram.

Since they're already here, I might keep them for the 8GB instead of 4GB onboard.
I'm disappointed that there isn't much improvement for the money.

If you have $75 for a used 760, toy 'd better sell yours and get the RX480 for just a bit more money imho. That would be a GREAT upgrade in performance.Hey guys, a lot has happened since I posted. And I can see a lot has happened in this thread
My 2TB Seagate drive started giving me trouble (well, my friend dropped my whole PC from about waist height at Lanfest Sacramento last year, so it's been a long time coming), and so I rebuilt my computer. I started over with a clean install of Windows 7 on a new Crucial 480GB SSD with a new 3TB HGST drive for data storage. I did like the Intel SSD caching with my little 60GB Kingston V300 that I put more than 5TB writes on in just a few months, but all the same, I'm happy with the new arrangement. I did move the pagefile to the HDD to increase the lifespan of the SSD. Anyway, this time around I'll be sticking with Windows 7 and not upgrading to Windows 10, so DirectX 12 is out of the question.
I also replaced the motherboard with a new MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition. This motherboard supports both SLI and CrossFire so I have more options in the future. Full specs: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z97S-SLI-Krait-Edition.html
I have an opportunity to get a second EVGA GTX760 2GB for $75 - should I do that? I kind of used my budget up buying the new SSD, HDD, and motherboard, so new GPU(s) are out of the question for at least 6 months.
I should clarify while I have 3x 1080P monitors I only play games on one of them and not across all three. And somebody in this thread mentioned color scheme, well my case doesn't have a side window so it doesn't matter
And for the person who said I don't have to reinstall my OS with changing motherboard, not only did you not realize I was using Intel smart response technology SSD caching, but WIndows 10 is a whole different beast

I do get performance improvement in crossfire, it's just the stuttering when moving + icons randomly flickers (HP bar, EXP bar, heck even the Item bar). It annoys me at times, which makes me wanna jump to single GPU.That basically just shuts off Crossfire, which defeats the whole point.
In that case, you are better off just setting Crossfire to off in the profile, since Crimson allows a profile per game.
