What would be better ?
I have a triple screen set-up. I'd like to play Crysis 3 in Eyefinity / Surround configuration, but most importantly, which configuration from the two listed would be best for video rendering (After Effects and other software from Adobe) ?

The 7990 is equivalent to dual 280X's, and the 295x2 is equivalent to dual 290X's (and will be pretty similar to dual 290's). Thats how things break down running at triple 1080p.
As for After Affects and people complaining. Well, you can choose between CUDA which has spotty support, or OpenCL which has none.

CrossfireX technically refers to 4-way Crossfire, so pretty obvious which one is better there
Probably the 270 SLI is better for your usage. Performance probably isnt as good (particularly at that resolution, among equal performance 1080p cards, AMD have always won at higher res') but there is the Nvidia Cuda support in the Adobe Suite that simply isnt there for AMD's superior OpenCL performance.
Thank you for posting in this thread. So you believe the 970 SLI will outperform 2x290(or 290X) in Crossfire.
I know about CUDA and I render a ton of stuff in After Effects, BUT, I heard people complaining they couldn't get it to work with Maxwell and that Adobe may have said they weren't even going to make it work properly. That's why I am doubting between the two configurations.

yes, gtx 970 all the way.it'll also have cooler temperatures, which is especially important for the card you put on top.
I thought about that, especially as I was looking for GPUs equipped with something blower-style if I were to choose nVidia. My main doubt is if they will work with After Effects, Photoshop and other software like these two programs. I know gaming performance they are alright if not even amazing.
