Your not going to be able to get there with either from what I can tell. You can't physically install a 3rd 280x on your board as it only has 2 PCI-E x16 to begin with, plus the bandwidth would be cut way back due to amount of PCIE lanes on your 4790. A 4790K wouldn't help much either as your CPU is already plenty fast with 3dmark tests and I doubt the faster chip @ 5.0Ghz would change your score much, not all the way to 20k anyways. You would be GPU limited and need more graphics power to boost your score. You would most likely have to change your cards all together or OC the crap out of the 2 you have to get a higher score.

I assume from the looks of it you have a pretty much kick ass machine that should play anything you want at the setting you want. Why the hang up on 20k? I guess I am getting too old to care about bragging rights these days. Is that all it is?

so will quad xfire be able to beat 290x crossfire? also it would be a great help if someone could point me which mobo can accommodate these triple slot cards x 4 !
