All three unlocked to 290x so thought I may as well stick it here.

I got pretty unlucky, my first 290x was a screamer (massive coil whine) and had to go back. Second one (which I kept) isn't a great clocker and has a small amount of coil whine.

I can generally get the core to 1150 before it starts giving me grief in games. I can clock the memory to about 1400 for benchmarks but anything over stock causes black screens in games. It's nice and quiet though under water, and cool (55-60 degrees max with a 4770k in the loop).

The plan is to get a 1440p 120Hz monitor and another 290x at some point.

Okay so I have installed my 4930k in. It fix one of my issue with QuadFire. But I have another issue remaining. I have been trying to find it for almost 2 months now and I am lost.... completly.

I can run:
-QuadFire R9 290x on 1440p Panels via DVI
-Or each card individually in eyefinity 3 x 1440p (2 x DVI and 1 x display Port)

BUT
I cannot run CrossFire / Trifire or QuadFire in eyefinity, or I can't even with the display port output but its fine with the DVI outputs :confused:

Conclusion: Display Port output + CrossFire : Doesn't work.

I really don't know why, I have tried all of the drivers.

I am using that dongle on the Display Port monitor

I know its not the dongle (adapter) because I have tried two, I have tried them on each monitor and also Eyefinity works on single card. But when I try to run a game using eyefinity or a single monitor vis the display Port output of the card, the monitors start flickering like if the display port is loosing signal.

I'm really tired of testing everything and trying everything I have in mind.

I am sorry to hear about your multi monitor problems, I only use a single 1600p monitor so I don't know enough to help.

It is good that the 4930k helped a little bit.

If you post a pic of your 290Xs I would really like to put you on the Roll of Honour in the OP.

Superb looking setup, looks miles better than my poor effort.

And on the Roll of Honour.:)

There are some really clued up people on these forums who know a lot about monitors, if you keep posting here and in the monitor section hopefully one of them can help you. I hope you get it sorted soon.

How many of these are needed at 1440p I currently have crossfire 7950 but if one of these is close to that and could handle 1440p smooth then that could sway me towards one worth an eye to getting a 2nd later if need be
Click to expand...

One could just about handle 1440p but it would be a bit of a drop in performance compared to what you are using now.

If you want to upgrade a couple of non ref 290Ps would be a better and cheaper way to go. The performance would only be a few % less than using 290Xs but it would be a lot cheaper.
