I currently have this build:
i5 3570k @ 4.8 GHZ
Maximus IV Extreme -Z
XFX 7970 Double D Black Edition (Original one before revamp)
16GB 1333Mhz Ram
NH-D14
Haf 932
Corsair K90
Logitech G600
120GB SSD - boot
3TB HDD -everything else
120GB HDD -steam
120GB HDD -origin

So here is the story, I am going to be upgrading to a triple monitors set-up for gaming and multitasking. To be exact 3 of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313
I want to be able to max most games at playable framerates. (5760 x 1080)
Playable as in never dropping under 80-90FPS.

Now obviously, I will need a card with a lot of VRAM, so I was thinking about the next gen AMD dual GPU card. I need the card in may.
Basically here are my choices:

1. 2 R9 290X's in CF
2. 1x amd 8990/R9 295X/Dual GPU card
3. 1x Next Titan/790

Thanks!
And again, I need this card in the start of may so I can wait.
Eventually I could If I get choice 2, upgrade to CF when it goes on sale.

I was originally planning on going tri-fire. But I decided to sell my 7970 and go for the new cards.

Hope i'm not yet to late... I have 2x Gigabyte 7970Ghz in crossfire
I run battlefield at 5760 x 1080 @ about 75-80fps on high settings
I am currently on the 13.12 AMD drivers.and I have a i5 3570K clocked at 4.3Ghz
Although BF4 wont let me use MSI afterburner OSD is think my fps are getting capped by my CPU and not the 7970s
because when I alt+tab I see my CPU was running at 100% capacity and my 7970s were in the 90-95-10% capacity range... although don't shoot me for getting the last numbers wrong as I wasn't able to see it ingame...

Hope I helped!

Its kinda hard to ask about future card since we dont know anything about them
290x will be good enough but if im correct amd was supposed to annonce in november on a dual hawaii cores (code name versivius)
