Hi everyone

Currently I run an Asus R9 280x in eyefiniti and was wanting to run a 4th connection to my tv in the livingroom but im reading my card will only support 3 legacy connections.I could be wrong but my card doesent seem to see all 4 screens at once. One input is always grayed out. Im thinking another 280x will solve my problem but i was wondering if there was a newer single card that will support all 4 inputs. Also worries about power consumption and my 750w psu. The TV I will be running to is 4K while my eyefiniti setup is 1080p. Any thoughts or suggestions on the matter is greatly appreciated.

System specs
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912
CPU: I7 4790k @ 4.0ghz w/H60 cooler
Motherboard: Asus Z97-E
Ram: 16gb G.Skill RaptorX
HDD: Samsung 850 500gb SSD
WD Black Edition 1tb HHD
Video: Asus R9 280x 3gb DirectCU II
PSU: EVGA Supernova 750W 80plus Gold

Thanks All

AMD R9 280X - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
AMD R9 280X Crossfire - The cards require you to have a 750 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

In your case, you're overclocking processor, then i recommend to get something with more wattage.
