I need help, i'm looking to make a future proof PC that can assure me quiet good couple of years of assured ultra settings gaming performance.
I'm looking at these two cards, but I'm not too deep into the study, hence i wanted to ask which would be better: a single Sapphire R9 290 TRI-X OC 4 GB DDR5 or Dual Sapphire R9 280X 3 GB DDR5?

Eagerly awaiting response.
Thank You :)

2 R9 280X Crossfire will definitely be stronger, but I would go with Nvidia with this point. These cards run a lot hotter than Nvidia and might cost a lot more than Nvidia cuz of miners.
I would go SLI GTX 780 or GTX 780 Ti, which again SLI would be stronger but more expensive.
