Tri-fire

[robertchalmers1]

is it worth going tri-fire at all with 280x??? what sort of gains is there to be had and do the latest AAA titles support it ( i know bf4 and titanfall never )

looking for some pros and cons regarding tri-fire along with psu recommendation etc

 

[robertchalmers1]

was actually looking at triple monitor 1440p but wasnt sure if 2 or even 3 cards would cut it or if i should just stick to 1080, forget vram etc and a 1kw psu was what i thought

 

[robertchalmers1]

meant to say im pretty sure 1440p is capped at 60 fps so of course would make sense o have v sync on

 

[robertchalmers1]

at triple 1440p you would need 4gb of vram to run it properly 2/3 290 should cover it. triple 1080 is ok with 3gb of vram but 4 can be utilised.

see dif is i can get another 280x plus EK waterblock and a night on the swally for less than a single 290/x hence why i asked if it was worth going tri fire with 280xs

cheapest 290x i can find that will take a waterblock are 400 notes a piece then a ton for waterblock. basically grand all in. lucky if i get 300 back for cards i already have would mean about 700 outlay vs about 270 for a 280x plus waterblock. however not going to bother if they dont work properly in majority of games
