I'm going to pull the trigger on the AMD Radeon R9 280. Thanks for the help.

-it's pricey
-it eats power for breakfast
-it runs hot as hell
-drivers are always a headache
-game support is hit or miss

It's probably better to just grab one decent card instead.

So, which one should I go for then?

I could use some advice here. I’ve got a motherboard that supports CrossFire but doesn't have SLI support, so I'm looking at an AMD Radeon R9 280. It’s $133 a pretty decent deal if I just run it solo, but I've heard the R9 series can be a bit temperamental—specifically those annoying black screen issues. On the other hand, if I decide to go with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760, I won't be able to add a second card via SLI down the road because of my board's limitations. Any thoughts? Help me out.
