Hey guys, just wondering if i should buy two R9 270x and run them in CrossfireX or just stick with a single R9 280x. And this is my first build and will probably be playing a lot of BF4 and Titanfall when it comes out late December - January 2014

Ah, you didn't mention that you were in Aus. I have a GTX 760 and would rather sell it and get the 280X than buy another for SLI if that helps you any.

in Aus a single 760 cost around $300 but a single 280x is around $400 so yeah $600 compared to $800

Ya i have just tried to crossfire these cards.. And I confirm the drivers are F*cked. I have reinstalled and swept drivers for my whole system alot of times and still when i put in the second card it will crash when I play a game.
Or if it works it is actually a slower fps than one card.
