I have been searching newegg, and trying to decide whish R9 270X to pick, and it doesn't seem like they come with a crossfire connector(I plan to purchase another soon to crossfire) Some either don't advertise they come with one in box, or they just don't come with one. Anyone know which versions actually come with one?

There is some confusion on this.

Some of the new cards don't require a connector, but I couldn't find a LIST of which ones don't. I thought it was only the R9-290X though.

Crossfire vs Single-GPU:
If you've already planned to get another card, I suggest you pool the money and get the best SINGLE card you can afford. Crossfire is still problematic though it's improving.

DX9 is still not supported for example so when you play a DX9 game in Crossfire mode at 60FPS you really get a perceived 30FPS experience as the 2nd GPU tends to put out RUNT data which you don't perceive.

I also recommend 3GB or more for the VRAM if you are willing to spend $500 on graphics (2x2GB is still 2GB usable).

There aren't any R9-290's however that I can recommend due to either reference coolers are heating/quality issues. At $520 USD I still recommend the EVGA GTX780 967MHz model (ACX cooler).
