Depends on your gaming resolution. If you'll be playing on a 1080p monitor, xfire 270x will outperform a single 290x almost every time. The gap will narrow for higher resolutions. While you might be able to save $100 by going 270x in xfire, keep in mind you'll be adding more heat, more noise, and will need a motherboard with two 16x pcie slots to take full advantage. I've been running 270x in xfire for several months and wish I had done the 290x. You can always toss in another 290x down the road if you need a boost.
