Didn't you upgrade from 290s to 290Xs and then to 8gb 290Xs? 
How do the 290Xs compare if they use the same API as the 980s?

True, but when some cards are free you don't say no.
No idea, but i will run some DX tests soon. To be honest though, i don't usually use it when Mantle is available. Why settle for less!

Didn't you get rid of the free ones and buy more 290Xs (before getting the 8GB ones)?
That's not even really an upgrade is it? 290X -> 290X?
Why settle for less? You were the one saying the 290Xs did pretty well...
So if you're not settling for less then I take it you'll be getting some 980s?

Is the first post being updated? No benchmarks for 1440p?
We have had none yet but if you have some please post and I will update the scoreboard.

Mine has no 8x MSAA avalable. only 8F16xEQ, which is actually more demanding.

I got rid of some free ones because they overheated (aib coolers) in crossfire. After that i got more free ones. I still have a 290P too.
As i said, nothing worth upgrading too. More of a downgrade at 4k tbh.

Yep its not there for me either, so i used 8x/16x also.
What is happening with 8XMSAA
Caporegime
Mantle uses a higher quality AA pass, unfortunately it can't be disabled. All it means is Mantle EQAA takes a bigger performance hit compared to MSAA. The hit is not huge, likely no more than a few fps.
I explained it all in this thread when the game launched Kaap.

And on the scoreboard.
Could you confirm which drivers you are using please.
OP updated with Mantle options.
Think nvidia only has 2xmsaa also but you can use csaa x16 or something.

Sorry, Omega Drivers.

Meh, i would have beaten that 780TI if it wasn't for that.
This is all i get in the options.

Just double checked and this is what my 980s are using.
