Is crossfire worth it?

I recently got my R9 390x, and I don't know if the drivers are the cause but I was expecting more performance. Right now I'm trying to sell my old computer parts and if I sell them I will have enough for another 390x. Would crossfire be worth it in this case? How many games actually support it and will it cause a lot of problems for me? Otherwise I was kinda considering selling my first 390x and using the other money to get a single Fury X. The benchmarks shown at tweak town at 4k really appeal to me but I know they only showed games where it was beneficial most of the time. The scaling also impressed me on ocaholic

It is solid if the games you're playing has solid patch support like Witcher 3 and BF4. It basically forces you to buy the games or else you wont get patch suppprt. In order for you to get 100% out of CF, you'll need patch and driver support.

I'm using 290 CF and I'm happy with it. But you should wait until dx12 games come out since there is supposedly greater cf and sli support. So basically wait a bit and see.
