xfire 270x vs sigle gtx 770

[igmarn]

What is better? I would like to play games at 1080p on a single monitor. Games like battlefield 4 and far cry 4 when it comes out, graphics don't have to be on ultra but what should be better for that? I'm buying a new computer and both options fit my budget.
If there is a better option for the same money please let me know. What will have the best fps?

A single more powerful GPU will be much less of a headache and is always preferred. Take it from someone who has an Xfire (2x 7870's), that there will be times where you will spend an hour trying to get a game to run well on xfire only to run it on a single gpu anyway.

I dont know alot about computers but it for pure performance, i would find it more logic that 2 are better than one. So you say i should avoid xfire of sli and buy a single card.
xfire 270x is a little bit more expensive than a gtx 770 but a 770 should be better?

For a single card which one is the best:
R9 270X
GTX 760
R9 280X
GTX 770

the 280x and the gtx

770 are about equally good, with the 280x getting better at high resolutions like 1440p.

In general 2 cards will be more powerful, however there will be a lot of errors and bugs you will get because you have two. For me and most people, the added effort of dealing with all the errors isnt worth the extra power.

Thank you for the help and for clearing things up! I will go with the gtx 770, the msi or asus version
