actually that doesn't always work for example the toxic and the devil the toxic has higher memory clock speed btut he devil has higher rendering speeds so the devil could be over clock to be as good as the toxic but the devil would be better bc of the rendering all cards have advantages and disadvantages.

Thanks for all your help StarBG and rolli59 but unfortunately i can choose only one best solution.

Yes they will beat a single GTX770 or 280X. A single card has about 75% of the performance of the 280X http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/R9_280X_Gaming/2... and you should get at minimum 50% boost with CF.


I found this http://www.reviewstudio.net/868-amd-radeon-r9-270x-cros... and it clearly looks like the r9 270x crossfire setup matches a GTX 780, which is very impressive! It simply beats the s*** out of the r9 280x and gtx 770.

Yep!

It is better to get a single card for performance and price, 2x of r9 270x should perform better than a single r9 280x but you can invest in one better single card for the price of two r9 270x.


I know that :)  But I said I will buy one r9 270x and later i MIGHT add another one.

They will run on Ultra but single will not but battlefield does fine with 2GB like proven over and over again with the GTX770 2GB that beats the HD7970 with its 3GB. What I am saying is that the card has to have the horsepower to use it and that happens a level up from the 270X.


Ok then, I hope you'll be right :) 

And a last question: Will two 270x's in crossfire be efficient? On what level will they perform (roughly)? Will they be better than for example a single r9 280x or a gtx 770?

The card will run out of processing power before running out of Vram with 2GB installed.


Future games will need more than 2gb even on single monitor setups.
Take Battlefield 4 for example. It needs 2.2 gigs of vram on 1080p Ultra. So future games like like Watch Dogs will need more than 2gb for sure.
But this depends, if two 270x's would even run BF4 on Ultra 1080p. I'm not sure, would they?
If no, 2gb is enough.
But if yes, then i dunno if 4 or 2 gigs would be the best...
