Would the 2 CF'd 280X's outperform a 780 Ti in new, high end games and if so, how well would it perform?

I'm streaming every day, many AAA games, to entertain people and to get a hang of games that others are unable to play or want to see before they buy.

I'd play all the games that are out in 2015-2014... Titanfall, BF4, Hardline, Watch Dogs, new Division, Far Cry 4, etc.. will I be able to max or nearly max out these games paired with a 4790K?

 

EDIT: 1 monitor, 1920x1080!

Of couse. 2 R9 280xs are very strong power.

More than likely, I can only guess at how well optimised those games will be that aren't released yet.  You shouldn't have a problem though.

I could also go with a system that has a very strong 780 or an R9 290X, but if the 2 GPUs for the same price outperform them, I'd go with 2 GPUs

Will it max my gaming needs at 1080p with 1 monitor?
