Hello everyone,
I have enough money for either a 295x2 or a 290X, but the purchase comes down to a couple factors:
1) I play at 1080/60 and always max all graphics. 60FPS is the bare minimum. I like 64x tessellation, 16x AF, all effects on, 4x MSAA usually,
2) I've never liked crossfire. I have 46 games and crossfire has never worked well at all but I'm limited to the market, and right now I've chosen either the 290X or the 295x2. I want something more than the 290X but the only thing is the 295x2 which I am apprehensive about for both price, scaling, and crossfire.
Meh, that's about it. The issue may be preferential. If only there was a 295x or something instead. That'd be a great middle ground
(ps, don't recommend me Nvidia)
