Dual R7 260x will be more like between the performance of single R9 270x & R9 280x

So NO dual R7 260x can't outperform a single R9 290/290x

Also it is not recommended to crossfire low/mid- end cards like R7 260x due to the lack of driver support and other issues.
A single card setup is better & more reliable.
You can buy R9 280 at the same price of Two×R7 260x

Add up the stream processors and they are still less than half. Then of course there are texture units, ROPs, bus width, and driver limitations with CFX.

Even a good quality 600W PSU can handle two R7 260x without breaking a sweat
