295x2 with 290x in trifire

[komatose84]

Hey all!

Im currently running a single 295x2 and am loving it so far

Now I should mention im running 4k and on some games it does struggle to maintain 60 fps so i've been thinking of adding a 290x (mainly because why not ). Im just wondering which 290x you guys would suggest? I also want to know if I ran the 290x as the main card would it be possible to turn off the 295x2? I play FFXIV and I sometimes get terrible studdering that im 99.9% sure is to do with crossfire so im hoping this would fix it

Why not just disable the crossfire of the 295x2 when running FFXIV?

But yes, another 290x apparently scales very well with a 295x2 for Tri-fire.

Yeah i haven't tried that but i have tried playing in windowed mode which disables crossfire but its just unplayable, like 10fps or something...
