Hello! I currently have a 280x in my system and would like to game at 4K in the future, would it be more worth it to get a second 280x? will they scale better than one 290x or a 780ti? I would like to think that it would get better frame rates than the single better GPU, I understand that it's sometimes better to go with one powerful GPU to avoid tearing or any other annoyances but i have been looking around and i cant find a comparision of 280x's in crossfire vs another stronger GPU and i just want to know about frame rates. Thanks!

I think that is a sensible decision. 4k monitors will get better and cheaper, and the next gen cards will no doubt cope better.

I don't believe that they would reach ultra settings or any of the nicer feature like Vsync or something like that, but at high with no Vsync i think it might work out ok, maybe not like 60 frames avg probably closer to 45 right?

thanks, i was looking for a comparison like this, yeah that seems like how i thought it would go, i guess i should just wait awhile before investing into anything past 1440p
