R9 295X2 is probably your best option price/performance ratio.

"Here is the big problem with the AMD Radeon R9 295X2 video card, it relies on CrossFire profiles to function and scale well in games. If there are no profiles for CrossFire in said game, you will not have CrossFire support. You can try to turn on the option to force CrossFire on games that have no profile, but it may not work, and if it does, there could be bugs. Even then, it won't be as efficient as AMD optimized profiles in drivers for new games.
AMD has been behind recently on providing CrossFire driver profiles for new games. The latest driver from AMD was released in early December of 2014. It is now mid-March 2015 and no new driver yet. That means all games released between then and now have had no optimized CrossFire driver profiles. Far Cry 4, which has been out since November of 2014 still has no CrossFire support. Dying Light, a new game, also has no CrossFire support officially.
It is this that makes the AMD Radeon R9 295X an unappealing product. When profiles are working right though, it can be a fast video card. In this evaluation we showed four games that CrossFire will work on, though in a roundabout way for Dying Light."

"That situation is put into stark contrast when we look at what’s happening with AMD’s driver development as of late. Not only has it been nearly four months since their last revision – which is an eternity in the PC gaming space- but the new release they gave us in time for the TITAN X review leaves much to be desired as well. At 1440P it performed admirably (albeit with the Metro: Last Light problems remaining unresolved months after they first reared up) but 4K compatibility was a hit and miss affair at best. Crossfire profiles were either broken, missing or under-performing in Metro: Last Light, Hitman Absolution, Dying Light and Far Cry 4. That’s four out of the nine games we included in this review and that poor showing ultimately pushed down the card’s 4K framerates. With that taken into account
the R9 295X2 is simply not a viable alternative to the $999 TITAN X at this time, even at its current price of $699."
