Graphics upgrade

[Toasty]

I currently have two KFA2 670 ex oc in sli supported by a 3770k running at 4.5Ghz.

I have major itch to upgrade but I have held off for now.

The plan was to upgrade to a haswell-e in June/August with 2 top end maxwells(880 I presume) running on 4k.

Since gaming quality 4k monitors are now available and the rumours of top end maxwell delayed until 2015 due to 20nm taking longer than expected; I'm considering getting a cost effective upgrade to graphics right now.

It seems 2 r9 290's would provide enough grunt for 4k while costing a quite reasonable £650.

Opinions ?

I have but I just don't think they will be up to the task. Most sites seem to believe you still need some form of AA when running 4k and it's seems silly to me to run 4k without running high/ultra settings.

I mostly play mmo's and although they are not very demanding they also don't make great use of sli/crossfire so more powerful individual cards would be the way to go I would think.
