So for having 2 graphics cards how much better will it make it if you had 2 Nvidia 660s 2 GB vs a R9 280x 3 GB, meaning will they work for all games, and will it improve frame rate with 2 mid range cards compared to 1 high end card.
Thanks

go for the r9 280x .... because of his 3Gb memory

and a single but powerfull gpu is always better then 2 gpu in sli or crossfire mode
above all with the gtx 660 ( we have shuttering issue )

If you look at pure performance, yes 2 mid range cards will beat 1 high end card.

However, I would still choose 1 high end card. I find 2 cards setups have too many drawbacks: they draw more power so you need a beefier PSU, they will generate more heat inside your case, you usually get more drivers problems and instability with 2 cards setups, etc...

It also depends what resolution and how many monitors you're using. If you only have 1 monitor with 1080p resolution, 1 card is plenty enough especially a R9 280x.
