Title says it all. What do you guys think will give better performance and be better overall?

More about : 290x 280x

Depends on mantle and whether the microstuttering with AMD crossfire is still AS apparent
The r9 290x is a good card and a great price, depends on your monitors

many games do not have support for crossfire tech or sli. just take the bigest card u can get... will draw less watts with one 290x

^^^^^^^ Always the biggest single card. You can always crossfire that one later

r9 290x for sure...
I bought 3 R9 280x's and have spent the better part of this week trying to get them to work together - can only run one at the rime or I get a BSOD!
So with hindsight, I would've gone for the 290x :)
