Hey everyone I just bought all the components that I need for a high-end triple screen gaming machine; however, I now need a gpu setup to run it all. What should I get?
I want the best possible frame rates for the money. I can buy one gpu now and another in about a month to crossfire/sli.
I was thinking crossfire r9 290 because of the price/performance ratio ($750), but also possibly trifire r9 280x for the same price? I would go with nvidia because I have always been an nvidia fan but the price/ performance ratio just isnt as good as amd at the moment.
Any input is welcomed!!!
