Hey guys. I was thinking about which one I should choose.. A GTX 780 or R9 280X Crossfire. I already have a R9 280X crossfire, but it's not everytime that it has the power that I need. Sometimes it laggs a bit in Battlefield 4. Sometimes 40 FPS on Ultra settings. I just want some more power, lel.
 
Well cheapest option right now would actually be to get a 780 with the recent crazy price increase on the 280x's...it's sad, but they pretty much the same price as a 780. You will however get better fps with crossfire 280x, but may run into frametime issues and stutter. (not always though)
 
as long as your on a single monitor crossfire hasn't had issues for quite a long time. that said i would try to avoid it if i had to due to added power draw and heat. but there is no question that crossfire 280x's will be much faster than even a voltmodded waterblocked 780ti@1.5ghz
