I found this conversation on Reddit.
http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1xzw7s/can_you_mix_the_same_model_graphics_card_but_from/

Go ahead and attempt it to see what happens. I would expect the single 4GB Sapphire R9 270X to be more powerful, but its worth testing just to see what happens. However you definitely won't be able to use more than the 2GB of VRAM on the weakest GPU as pointed out here http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/353685-33-crossfire-vram-amounts.

Yeah i read the same post Justin. Thanks for the Quick Answer really. I know its not '' Optimal " . But a mere f*** up on the Distributor . and my Rig is already beastly , So it wouldnt really be missing the other 2GB Vram
