Yes. It's pretty common for a graphics card to be able to oc to match the next card up at stock. 

It should be fine for BF4 at 1440p: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2014/05/19/amd-radeon-r9-280-review-feat-xfx/4

Is it possible to overclock this card so that it gets the same performance as a 280x? Also, after overclocking it will i be able to play at 1440p at more than 30fps in games like bf4?

It will come near but due to the fact that the 280x has more stream processors you need a damn good OC on the 280 to match the 280X

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

7950 owner with heavy overclock. It gets within 5-10% of a 280x. As for 1440p, take a look at this. Keep in mind that these are averages though and not minimum framerates.
