R7 260x 2gb x2 crossfire vs r9 270x 4gb
so what is better??

iGrafx · Apr 9, 2015

I would go for the r9 270x because it is more powerful. Just because you have twork cards does not mean you will get better performance than a single powerful card. You will only get extra Vram. Most of that vram will not be utilised anyway.
Hope this helped

That is exactly the opposite of what happens in Crossfire, the two GPU's are utilised, but the VRAM pool is not combined. A 260x crossfire still only has 2GB VRAM.

However, 260x falls completely outside of the category of 'cards worth SLI or Crossfiring', I would definitely recommend getting a single 270x, or perhaps even better single GPU solution. Crossfire profiles has been lacking lately from AMD and there are some crossfire issues that is not worth the headaches with a pair of low powered cards.

for AMD these days, the cards I generally would consider crossfiring are 290 or 290x, any lower isn't really worth it.

Try picking up an R9 280 or 280X, they're cheap and still powerful.

I agree

how many fps boost i can get if i crossfire r7 260x

iGrafx · Apr 9, 2015

You will get around 30 fps 1080p depending on the game.
Around 30 fps for games like crysis 2

Benjamin Bucu :

Very heavily depends on the game, some games you may get double fps boost (Crysis for example), some games you get maybe half, some you may not get any at all.

Benjamin Bucu · Apr 9, 2015

how about crysis 3 or battlefield 4?
r7 260x x2
8gb ram
fx 8350?
how many fps??

Benjamin Bucu · Apr 9, 2015

how many fps i can get in crysis 3?
r7 260x x2
8gb ram
fx 8350
resolution - 1366x768
settings - high
anti alisaing = fxaa or smaa high

iGrafx · Apr 9, 2015

around 70+

iGrafx · Apr 9, 2015

we can't really see more than 80 fps

Dylzan · Apr 9, 2015

iGrafx :

LOL

OP, if I were you I'd recommend either getting an R9 280/280X or waiting until the R9 300 series as the rebrands in that series should be cheaper for more powerful cards. If you have a 260X now, sell it.

iGrafx · Apr 9, 2015

Dylzan :

I agree. It is better to get a r9 280 or 280x than to get 2 260x's as you will get more performance for your money.

Benjamin Bucu · Apr 9, 2015

i already have r7 260x
i want only to add r7 260x to save my budget
how many percent difference of performance between r9 280x and r9 260x?

Dylzan · Apr 9, 2015

It'll probably beat 2x260X in every game, especially those with bad Crossfire profiles.

Benjamin Bucu · Apr 9, 2015

r7 260x FPS ??
r9 280 FPS??

Benjamin Bucu · Apr 9, 2015

i mean r7 260x fps?
r9 260x fps?

Dylzan · Apr 9, 2015

There is no R9 260X. Taking BF:H as an example: An R7 260X would get around 40FPS on high settings, 2 R7 260Xs would get around 60-70 and an R9 280X would get around 80FPS.

iGrafx · Apr 9, 2015

If you really really want that 260x then go get it but we can not promise you anything. If it was not what you expected then it is your own fault. We are not responsible for the damage you cause to your own mentality.
