We look at Radeon R9-290X Crossfire vs GeForce GTX 780 SLI, next to our default FPS benchmarks we do Ultra HD and FCAT Frametime measurements as well. The boards used are reference. Over the next few pages we'll tell you a bit about multi-GPU gaming, the challenges, the requirements and of course a nice tasty benchmark session with the latest games. We'll have a peek at temperatures and power consumption of the Radeon cards in Crossfire mode to monitor its generated performance.

Awesome review Hilbert, I'm debating whether or not to go 2way xfire or stick with one 290X for 2560x1440!!! :banana:

So on average, about 100 euros cheaper than a GTX 780 for a tiny bit more performance in most games. though better improvement in battlefield.

Hmm, nvidia is going to need to lower prices otherwise I wouldn't even think twice about going amd.

Is it just me, or is it weird not seeing the crossfire connector?

That's some some serious performance.

I wonder how far back the non-X version is and how much heat it generates. Maybe that one is better suited for CF.

Thanks for the article.
