R9 270 crossfire 270x

MaXiMus M8 · Apr 26, 2014

Hi currently have a 270x and play battlefield and want it for more up coming titles but I believe it might need a hand if I wish to proceed playing on ultra or maximum settings. I have decided on purchasing a r9 270 but wish to overclock it to match my 270x. Would this be possible because I have heard a 270x crossfire can beat a 290x

Thanks

I have no Idea , Please don't mind but I do not recommend an AMD Card in the future If you buy any...
There are reasons for it.

A 270x should play BF4 on Ultra with no AA and get 60fps. If you want AA then I'd suggest upgrading. However, I think you'd be better off just selling the 270x and getting a 280x. A 280x maxes out BF4 on 1080p.

^^^The above comment by FaqirKhan is stupid. He/she does not tell us why he feels so. And I, as an owner of a AMD GPU and previous owner of a Nvidia GPU, recommend both. It comes down to price. In the future people should not make worthless and unsupportive comments.

But for later titles two r9 270x would have a higher frame rate then 1 280x in future games and I make more money selling them then 1 graphics card and also I can get a second one really cheap from my friend

I don't mean to start an argument but would this be alright for a couple of years and the 280x price is ridiculous thanks to bitmining

List you complete specs. PSU? Is another 270x out of your budget?

envy14tpe · Apr 26, 2014

The price of the 280x has fallen dramatically, back to normal. You can buy many good 280x models for $330usd or less.

This is part of OP's build:

Equipment: MSI Z87-G45, i5 4670K, 1TB Seagate Barricuda, 8gb Corsair Vengeance Pro

No need to Rage

I am flexible enough to change my opinions

I have my reasons for why not to buy AMD

Have a Nice day.

Specs
8gb corsair vengeance pro
I5 4670k CPU
Msi z87 g45 gaming
Antec Quattro 1000w
1tb seagate barracuda
R9 270x graphics
And I could always buy it full price but my friend has given a bit of a deal

Maybe your friend will allow you to use his 270 with your 270x for a week to see if there are any issues with Crossfire. I'd give it a try since it is a much cheaper solution and your system with PSU and Mobo can run it well.
