What is better 2x R9 270 or a new gpu ?

[peckata2]

I have an Asus AMD Radeon R9 270 gpu and i am thinking of getting an upgrade but i am thinking which is the better solution in which case do i get more performance for my money ? Should i save money for a more expensive gpu or get another R9 270 and go crossfire.I have a 500 W real power CM power suply and an i5 4670k so do i actualy have enough power for 2x R9 270 ?

R9 270 is still a great GPU, best to crossfire them. Your i5 won't bottleneck those cards.

Would i be getting a good performance boost for the newest games with crossfire or there might be some problems and negative scaling ?

I doubt a 500w PSU would be enough, a reputable 650W should do good though.
edit: Why am I in bold?

because you quoted my bold text.

500W is a bit low, yes. Go for at least a Corsair CX 600.

No negative scaling from your system, no.

green box in a post, says "Pick as the solution", which it is always best to close a thread, otherwise it is seen as active.

There is no green box on this and 1 more of my threads thats why i couldnt remember how to pick a solution also these 2 are marked with ,, instead of with ? like the other ones why is that

 

[unknownofprob]

that's a first, there is nothing similar that says "pick" and "solution"?

Hi,would 2 radeon r7 low gpu's top the performance of a r7 260x? Because 240 is half the price and would 2 of them make r7 260x look like a fool?
