The 290 is quiet with vsync on!

Some people are seriously petty and small minded, might just want to keep in mind its a forum on the internet not somebody stealing your parking space!
Atleast it seems theirs enough guys on here who can be mature and respectful, shame on anyone else.
I haven't personally observed any input lag with frame limiting, but now you've got me thinking, might have to take more notice as I previously thought it was something I was sensitive to. I hate vsync it ruins reactions in online games.

I can bet you that my R290 doesn't go quiet even with Vsync on, since I'm rocking 120HZ.
And if you were at higher resolutions, it won't be quiet even with Vsync on, since they need the grunt.
And if you're running Vsync on a 60hz 1080p screen, why are you using an R290
?

I can notice input lag when using vsync but there are easy solutions to get around that. Although you won't remove it completely, you can minimise it to almost unnoticeable levels.
As someone already mentioned a good trick is to limit fps to 1 fps below refresh rate. On a 60hz screen cap the fps at 59.
Another trick is to change the render ahead limit (flip queue size via RadeonPro) to 1. Default is 3. This stops the cpu rendering frames ahead of the gpu and will reduce input lag.
The third trick (assuming you will not drop below 59fps - important) is you can disable triple buffering. (if present - works on BF3/BF4 via a user.cfg file) Removing triple buffering takes away the third frame held in the buffer via the gpu and also helps remove input lag.

Each to their own I guess. The price that 290 is at I wouldn't be shocked if I saw somebody doing something as unthinkable as that

Why not.... what's the next best thing for the price, £320 for constant 60 fps on ultra at 1080p on something like battlefield 4, and maybe for next years games.
Some people don't buy graphics cards every 6 months.

You'd have bought a 7970 almost 2 years ago as that'll handle everything fine, just not completely maxed out (AA)
I've gamed on single screen 60hz with top end cards in single and dual setups sometimes its just nice to have a card you know can do what you want no compromising.
All this talk of higher hz screens and resolutions, i don't get why people are still on single screens once you see a game in eyefinity i don't know how 1 screen cuts it even if its 120hz or high resolution
Well yes fair point.

I ran eyefinity when it debuted, not a fan of the fish bowl effect.
I wasn't when i first went eyefinity which was back in the 5870 days, but with tools like widescreen fixer and most modern games been designed to work with eyefinity this "fishbowl effect" no longer exists, fov settings count too, if you run battlefield 3 or 4 over 60 fov the side screens stretch but at 60 fov they are perfect.
Each to their own though, i went back to single screen gaming last year and just couldn't get over feeling like my display was been cut of at the sides.
Funnily enough this is exactly the card i just came from, it could run skyrim at 60 fps but that was about it.
Something many might not consider but the oculus rift should be out next year using 1080p, im not sure why you'd want multiple screens or higher resolution really when you can immerse yourself in the game, 1080p is perfectly good for years to come i think, 4k might be nice but it will be years before the hardware catches up enough to allow the kind of fps we get now at 1080p, to me i just can't see the big deal, im more interested in screen quality or immersion than higher fps or resolution, so im looking forward to oled screens and the oculus rift.
Anything that fills your peripheral vision immerses you more so the rift could be exciting although flawed until they get it shrunk down imo.
On the subject of immersion, I sometimes hook my games up in my cinema room which is 1080p and calibrated image quality, even though the screen is 120 inches it isn't as immersive as my eyefinity setup which is 3x 24" ips screens.
