Is Frame pacing fixed on Crossfire?

[Boomstick777]

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?

Cheers LT.

Go for it Boom. Makes good sense.

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

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

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

Well it didn't stay in it's box very long

Dayum these are fast in Crossfire

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

Lol, yeah it was too tempting..

That's a pretty good score graphics considering your clocks. Here's mine from back a few months back on 13.12 WHQL on 290P crossfire.

Nice clocks. Don't quite understand why mine is similar score? Your CPU clock is insane

GPU's were 1150 / 1350 . 4770K @ 4.4Ghz.

I do likey these 290X's. Another bonus is they can heat u the house while gaming. should have got these back in winter...

Physics score matters little in this one i think.

Those cards look pretty close. Hope you have good airflow.

Ha, yeah they are gonna get pretty toasty during gaming. I'm getting huge performance boost in games. Worth a lil extra noise / heat.
