Hey guys I was wondering if a single R9 290x sapphire (I will be overclocking it) with an 8350 fx (overclocked with the noctua heatsink) will be enough to run the future games in 4k. I assume that mantle will only improve more as newer drivers come out and amd is a solid choice. Do you guys think that this will be enough to run games anywhere from 30+ avg fps if i where to play games such as Battlefield hardline and Starwars battlefront 3 or will I need to crossfire this with another 290x, which I am somewhat afraid to do considering I read on one of the sapphire's reviews that it takes up 2 and 1/2 slots. Lastly if I get 2 290's will the 8350 be holding them back?

4K is 4x pixels of 1080p, He'd be able to Max it at only medium or below, so probably not 30 FPS Ultra

Thanks a lot for the link man this will help a lot seeing the difference in frames. The only thing that sucks about the crossfire is it looks like it has tons of frame drops at 4k but if I can get them cheap I'll most likely get them crossfire otherwise the 290x will be fine.
