R9 270x Overkill ??

[Soundtripper009]

I'll be having a crossfire of r9 270x in the future,would be it be an overkill for a 1080p monitor ? I notice the benchmark of my card to next gen games and I'm not satisfied with the result like the max out performance on thief and BF4 

 

should It be okay the crossfire 2 r9 270x for benchmark results that would not go down to 60 fps ? Or it will be an overkill for my monitor ?

Anyway the Batman Arkham Knight and AC unity is coming in the near future and I'm not confident my card will give  the best result...

I would just stick with the single 270x, and then save for a single high end next gen cad.

Yes, this. Higher end single cards are ALWAYS better than dual lower end cards.

Sell your 270x and get a single high end card.

[Soundtripper009]

Ow, if that's better maybe going for the upcoming Maxwell cards would be better...

yeah, when maxwell launches, sell your 270x and get a 870 or 880

Hope they are not quite far with the 700 series in pricing haha )

i have 2 7870's in Crossfire (overclocked) and the performance with both cards is amazing. i can max out most games at 1920x1080, the exceptions would be Crysis 3 & Metro LL.

BUT! i would have to recommend saving up and buying 1 high end card. The games that don't have crossfire support or are just badly optimized will piss you off. i was able to buy my second card for $30, I had $100 in store credit at microcenter.

plus this was my first multi GPU setup.

I would expect the 860 to be around $250, so you sould go for that.

Yes, even if someone holds a gun to your head to your head and tells you to buy two low end cards or he will shoot you, make sure you buy one high end card because it's ALWAYS better.

If you have on board and can stick it out for a while or have a crappy temp card you can use, I would get rid of that 270x asap. Prices seem like they'll be dropping soon.
