Friend has a 4gb 270x card and wants more gpu performance. Yes yes, Im entirely aware that a single card is best. All the games he plays are either not gpu demanding or they have crossfire support. As it becomes more and more prolific, I have a hard time believing AAA titles not supporting xfire performance in the future anwyay.

He plays on 1440p, runs an i5 rig. I can't really think of a downside to the xfiring, he overkilled his psu (Corsair RM1000 [not my idea...]) so he has PLENTY of space on his power to play with crossfire solutions.

Benchmarks favor this setup when it works. Is this really a bad idea? 4gb is great, but is memory bandwidth going to support 1440p well enough to justify a crossfire experience?
 
It'll be better than a single 270X on 1440P for sure, assuming he has proper airflow.

He wasn't the most brilliant when building his computer. Im pretty sure he spent 200$ on a case he didn't need in the first place. He got his advice from reddit and youtube, and left me bewildered at his judgement lol. I don't even know if he has a K series i5, I'll see what he's running.
