not looking for an assumptive responses - please reference benchmarks or personal experience
running a 4k (or triple 1440p) monitor configuration with crossfire r9 290's on a mobo (I have a z97m-g43) that runs a pcie 16x 3.0 for primary card and pcie 4x 2.0 for secondary card.
I am interested to see if there is a significant performance difference between 3.0 16x / 2.0 4x and a 3.0 8x/8x or 3.0 16x/16x using this configuration of 4k and r9 290 in crossfire.
There is negligible loss at 1080p and certainly a large increase in frame rates @ 4k - I will investigate this tonight via benchmarks with single card / crossfire @ 1080 & 4k.
For now id love to hear some experience on the matter.
