Hey all, I was looking at getting an MSI R9 270x but noticed a pretty good discount on Newegg Canada- a Powercolor HD7850 for $139.99 (before a $30 USD rebate and taxes). Seeing as how the 270x is a bit less than twice the price, is crossfire HD7850 worth it for the extra money? How are Powercolor's coolers? I'll be using at most 1-2 monitors at 1080p for playing games. Thanks!

The R9 270X is similar in performance to a HD 7950. I never encourage users to have dual card setups, as a single powerful card is more efficient and stable.

Hmm, I guess I'll stick with a single 270x then. Thanks for the reply!
