Hey guys quick question can you run a crossfire config with an r9 270 x with an r9 280 x or does it have to be the exact same card?

Has to be the exact same architecture.

No, it doesn't. As long as they are in the same family, you can crossfire the cards. In this case, the cards cannot be put in cf since the 280 is Tahiti XTL and the 270 is Curacao. 

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

I changed my post by the way.

You can't crossfire 270x and 280x, but you can crossfire 270 and 270x or 280 and 280x.
