getting dual gpu?

[Knock]

im gonna be getting star citizens and future games and have found out il only be gettong mid-high will dual r9 280x toxics stay up to date for the next few years or should i get another card a cheaper one to dual with my r9 280x?

The r9 280x crossfire should be good enough, although take into account that a dual GPU config requires a good PSU, enough room in your case, board capable and of course works for most games, but there are a couple that just wont use them (skyrim, castlevania lords of shadow). I've always been using nvidia SLI and I find it very powerful, should be similar on the AMD side!

 

[Rationale]

I wouldn't go crossfire for a new rig. Too many games have stability issues with crossfire, in some it actually hurts performance worse than having just a single R9 280X.

I would advise against going crossfire and get a 780 Ti for the same money single gpu is always better than dual and it would leave room for dual 780ti if you really wanted to down the road when prices drop

Crossfire/dual GPUs have been around for years. At least as far back as 2005, and I'm sure sooner as well. They've never been entirely stable in all games, and it's anyone's guess whether they'll ever be.
