280x is the better card by a pretty good margin. About the same difference between 7870 and 7970. The 4 gb won't really help as you will probably never use all 4 gb without bogging down preformance to the unplayable rates.

i have some point here :
1. video memory 4GB is supposed to handle high resolution only ( for example : multi monitor or 4K) instead of 2Gb version...
2. how many framerates we get is mainly depends on bandwith rate of GPU...
3. r9 270X 4GB is just slighty faster than 2GB version on any high resolution monitor and not faster a bit on low reslotion monitor because it basically is middle-end GPU... so, it isnt worth to buy...

so, go along with r9 280X that has noticeable faster bandwith rate...

Crossfired R9 270X's would be far more powerful than a single R9 280X but you would need a large power supply and there may be driver issues when it comes to real time performance.
