I custom builtmy rig and even tho the gtx 570 maxes everything 1080p 60fps, i want somethin newer so i sold it for $120 (got for $100) and i am looking at the amd side as i have an amd 8320 processor, amd thermaltake case etc and i wanted to know if the r9 270x crossfire woupd be beneficial as i bought one a while back and my 570outperformed it in sk but nothing else. If i get 2 of the 270x's and dp a two-way crossfire would i see inprovement or is sk not multi-gpu suprtive? Cuz thrn i could just get a 280x. Prefer quick responses as i'll be buying this week.

Extra info: current psu is a high quality corsair tx650 meaning i can support high end gpus but only one so if i go the cfx route i'd need to sell this for $60 and buy an 850 for like around 100. If i go 280 i wouldnt need to buy new psu.
*shrugs*
Case is mid tower but has side bottom top front and rear vents and a gentle typhoon casenfan with 2 red led fans and a cpu corsair watercooler so i know heat and power constumption with crossfire is gonna be a thing to monitor just cuz my rig is currently in my room (i have a fridge in here too so i only have to leave for doorbell and washroom) but i dont want it to be a sauna :/ if anybody here knows which is the best route plz post why. And i am running sk 64bit via thrill's sk tweaking guide which can also be found on forums, tho i am not using the older jre runtime he recommended even tho other ppl had probs with the newer one, i am running it fine.

Greetings,

Spiral Knights does not take advantage any multi-GPU solutions. It will always run on a single graphics card. Every graphics card you've listed will not limit your ability to play Spiral Knights. In general high end graphics cards will offer much more performance than Spiral Knights will ever require.
