Hi guys.
I am currently without graphic card, and my friend is selling R9 270. It's pretty cheap like 125 euro, and i was planing to grab it. In January i can buy again R9 270 and make crossfire. 
Should i do that, is this card good in crossfire, or i should save money and buy R9 280 only one? These are my options, just tell me about crossfire this 270 :) 

 

R9 270 now + R9 270 in january (crossfire)
R9 280 sapphire in january 

What do u think?

I will search about that a little bit, but what do u think about this crossfire? 

I would not bother with crossfiring that, A single stronger card will ALWAYS be the better choice. The only time i would honestly recommend a multi gpu setup to anyone is when they are already using the top cards available. Ive been running sli for years and have run crossfire in the past. Scaling isnt always the greatest and some games flat out dont support multi gpu setups leaving you way behind that single card system.

Sounds ok i guess, make sure the card hasnt been mined on and unless you REEALLLY need a gpu now i would wait for the new amd releases

R9 270 Crossfire is very good performance and will whoop a single 280, but I'd only recommend it for playing at 1080p. 

 

At higher then 1080p, you'll want more then 2GB of VRAM, since VRAM is mirrored and not combined when in Crossfire.
