Crossfire 290s vs 1x 780Ti?

[Allnamestaken]

What do you guys think?

I have a 4 day old 780 Ti and was thinking of maybe Tri fireing 3x 290s?

2x 290 cost pretty much the same as a single 780Ti.

Not sure on performance numbers hmm.

Won't you be pushing your loop with 3 GPUs and 1 CPU?

Here are a few non gaming benchmarks ive done recently with stock 290 pro crossfire. Compare them to your stock 780TI for reference.

Guess i should update my score for this thread for a comparison to see what our £560 gets us.

Plenty of room to go further with my cards as well, but my PSU can't cope with any more wattage.

I'm confident I can break 14k on water, but the point is price for performance 290x crossfire is a whole lot better.

3 780Tis and I'm happy as a dog licking your nuts though
