    can i crossfire this?

    I currently have an r9 270x powercolor devil can I crossfire with a 4gb gigabyte 270x or must I stick with the same card with the same 2gb memory?

    You can crossfire it... BUT 2GB will be the actual usable amount of vram. The 4GB will downclock to match the 2GB and thus is not worth it.

    Aye,same as the previous posts said,you can but the new card will be literally summed down to the level of the old. Up to you if you would like to do this.

    You ail be able to use them in crossfire but be aware that the extra 2gb of the 4gb version will be unusable. Basically you will be using two 2gb cards.

    As previously stated, it will work fine with ANY 270 or 270X gpu, however you only get 2gb of usable memory, not 4gb.
