My RMA was 6 weeks with Asus. I expected a little quicker but it is what it is. I will be sticking with people like EVGA in future though, as those things are what I don't want to happen when something packs up with no fault of mine.

Grab a cheap interim card and sell it when you get yours back. Luckily I had a 6970 which did the job
Wow that's awesome, well done ocuk! How long did you have your card for before it went iffy?

Another thing to consider is that he would probably not get any actual noticable benefit on CF280x over a single 290 on a AMD CPU (except may be with Mantle for removing CPU bottleneck).Get another 280x! That'll be damn fast
Although the 290X has TrueAudio if that's your thing

Crossfire don't mind the cards having different clock speed, and as long as the are the same GPU you'd be able to crossfire without issue. Is your motherboard a good one that properly support crossfire (not like those 16x/4x crossfire on the cheap boards)?
Edited: Just checked, your board is one of the 16x/16x board:

It is why I don't buy Asus anymore. Their RMA takes far too long.
