1. I've been looking to run BF4 and titanfall, but if i cant run BF4 then i'm fine with that. Game's broken anyways

2. Is cross-firing two of these a good choice, rather than using one powerful graphics cards?

3. If it isn't a good choice, could you list me a graphics card that about the same price

R7-250x / 7770 / 650 r7-260x all better choices then going with crossfiring 2 low end 2 generation old vid cards. In addition to the lack of complexity the power draw and noise will be much lower with a single modern card.
