What other cards can the Sapphire Dual-X R9 270 Crossfire with? + Sufficient psu?

[sdmsports]

Hi forum. First time builder here. I would like to know what graphic cards can be paired to crossfire with an R9 270. I would like to try to get one with good performance and can attempt to hold a steady 60 frames. As well as a gpu, I would like to know what psu I should get. I currently have a Rosewill RD600 which I know is not enough to sustain both of the gpus, as well as the rest of my build. All feedback is appreciated

Here is my current build,

AMD FX 8320 AM3+
Sapphire R9 270 2GB GDDR5
MSI 970A-G46 AM3+
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2x4GB)
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Rosewill RD600 - Stallion Series 600W
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Another 270 or a 7870, but unless you get a used 7870, they are hard to come by and expensive for new ones so go with another 270 if anything.


This is Guru3D's generic power supply recommendation for the R7 and R9 series:

AMD R7 260X - On your average system the card requires you to have a 450 Watt power supply unit.
AMD R7 260X Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 650 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
AMD R9 270 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.
AMD R9 270 Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
AMD R9 270X - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.
AMD R9 270X Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
AMD R9 280X - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
AMD R9 280X Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 750 Watt power supply unit as minimum.


I can't confirm or deny that, just a random link I found.

Thanks you very much for the speedy reply! So performance-wise I assume the 7870 would be my best choice but like you said would be difficult getting my hands on. I think ill just grab another 270. And for the power supply I was thinking maybe a Rosewill Photon 750w or a EVGA SuperNova 850 simply because they are cheap and fully modular.
