Forgive my ignorance

 

I have a dual monitor setup at present.

 

I am looking to get a pair of r9 270x' and have them in crossfire configurations.

 

Do i plug both my monitors into one of the cards or one into each card?

I would suggest against getting two 270x's. I would suggest into getting perhaps a 280x or 290X. To answer your original question though, plug both monitors into one card.
