With 7870's so cheep now should I grab another one to xfire? My setup can handle 2 with no problem. But is it worth it? I'm looks at games coming out next year. With Titian Fall and Watchdogs at the top of my list. I want to be able to run them at 1080P with everything on High. So what are your thoughts?

Crossfiring 7870s is a good option. I'd be surprised if you can't max out any game in the next year at 1080p with 2 7870s, given 30fps minimum is OK with you.

Alternatively, you could sell your current 7870 and get an R9 280X or a GTX 770 - this will be the same expenditure but will yield better performance and be more futureproof.
