Are the frame pacing issues fixed on crossfire now. I never had any real problems with crossfire but have found SLI a bit smoother in the past.

Someone is offering me another 290X. Would basically work out free. Not sure whether to sell it or keep it and go crossfire?

I game at 1440P, opinions appreciated.

Use both, or sell one keep the other?

AMD are ahead these days on frame pacing according to the most recent testing conducted at pcper using Nvidia's own FCAT tool.

I'm using 290 crossfire at 1440P and have no issues with any game i own. Note, i do not play that filth watchdogs lol.

You're about as bad as me with changing setups :p
Crossfire is generally fine but in some games having vsync on causes stuttering. I remember Arma stuttering with frame pacing on too.
 
Use both - one GPU always looks so lonely on it's own.

If you find you're having issues with the games you play, then sell the card and you're no worse off than if you'd sold it without trying it. If you don't have issues and decide you like it - welcome to the Crossfire Club brother. :)
 
Cheers LT.

It's not gonna cost me anything, but I'm aware as soon as I open it up, it loses value. I could just sell it brand new and profit now... Hmm :confused:

Suppose I could run both of them and then sell them both when 20nm cards drop. Probably still be worth a fair chunk in 6 - 12 months..

Am crap at decision making when it comes to my PC, as my erratic upgrading and downgrading of hardware shows :p

Not so bad when it doesn't cost you anything though..
 
It's a done deal on the card. should arrive tomorrow. Still not sure whether to just sell it and profit, or run Crossfire..

No doubt when it arrives tomorrow the temptation to install it will be to much for me.. I am a hardware whore :(

:D

Reading all of your to-ing and fro-ing, your pondering... and being quite sure how it would result it was still funny to read the above posts in succession.

Enjoy it. Know that I envy you! I want entry to Crossfire Club :( :P
 
The lure of multi card pimpery is too much for mortal men. We all fail the test when given the opportunity...

Look at Tonester. He doesn't even use both cards. The second one's just there for pimping. True story.

Tone plays everything on low though, that brings shame upon us all.
