R9-270x Crossfire Performance

[ducecake]

So I am looking at a rig that I want to possibly get. I know this is not the best of all builds but I was wondering how the performance would be for 2 R9-270x's in a rig. Here are the specs of the rig im looking at from someone: 

 

Intel Core i5-4670k
8 GB 1866 Mhz RAM
Dual Sapphire Radeon R9-270x in Crossfire
240 GB Crucial SSD
1 TB Seagate 7200 RPM HDD
Corsair 400R case

 

The main thing im looking at is the GPU and if the 270's would be good enough to perform well on like Bf4 and such on close to high or max on 1080p. I had another rig with a GTX770 so I dont know if this would compare to a 770 or not (price to performance and such). Any input from peeps that have this GPU or know a bit more on the AMD side would be awesome! Thanks!

It'll be good.

Just get a single higher end GPU

by that font i can tell you want to buy off of craigslist.

 

Meet the seller in a public place with a friend hanging around, and make sure you can verify the parts in the computer before you buy.

Single high end GPu is always a better choice than two midrange cards.

For the people saying to go for a single high end GPU, its obvious that the seller is buying a pre-built system from someone. He wouldn't be able to go up to them and say "Yeah, I'll take everything except the GPU's you can just keep those and cut them out of the price."

 

The 2 GPU's will perform fine for BF4 at 1080p, and will perform better than a 770 in most cases. Just be sure you dont want to add another card in the future, 3 way xfire is not worth it.

Oh I thought he was building the system, my bad

Yes yes. I deal with craigslist all the time. I know what im doing when it comes to that sort of things.

Ok great! Ya I might just keep this as a mid range then get my personal custom built high end one later this year on cyber monday.

I have 2 270x's in crossfire, and they run everything I throw at them in max settings. I chose that route over a 290x since I got 3 of them for $315 and sold one of them for $150.

 

Personally I like my setup over a single 290x. It actually has better FPS in most games, and I haven't had any issues with crossfire. It is also more unique, and looks more badass in your case to have a crossfired build.

 

I would suggest to make sure you have enough case fans to keep them cool.

Ok thanks! Glad to hear from someone that has it crossfired. And yes this is going to be my middle build before my awesome build hopefully later this year. It will deff have enough air flow or I can just pop in some more fans or get another case in the meantime. Thanks for the feedback!
