Help guys!

Guys i have a r9 290 but i only have 15inches 1366 x 768. With that display will my 290 can use its full performance?

[SAV1OUR]

id have gotten a better monitor first...

but thats not even going to touch the 290 your fine

[WoodenMarker]

Go for 1440p if possible. 1080p is also fine.

[lhikary]

you are fine
1440p is too hard for amd cards from exerience
even if you went with amd for 1440p you will lag and tearing and juggering unlike Nvidia
Nvidia is the way to go
so don't bother

no just no

wait what? 

that literally makes zero sense

my post makes total sense

1440p is not meant for r9 290/x

go read some reviews

Mate you are wrong, just stop

They were built for 4k, how could they not handle 1440p? This is so derp

No I think you need to.

r9 290x according to amd are meant for 4k not 1440p

OP go get a 4k monitor there is one for around 700$

Nothing wrong with getting a quality monitor, you can get a better graphics card later on down the line. You'll be using the monitor for longer anyway.

[lhikary]

forgot to add Nvidia is meant for 4K SURROUND not just 4k

4k is higher then 1440p which means it would run it easier, mate stop

The r9-290 handles 1440p like a bauss. I don't know what you're talking about

point is sure amd cards can run games on 4k and 1440p

BUT

they will lag as hell and most likely get tearing

unlike Nvidia

because

Nvidia have G-SYNC

how did you guys forgot about that?

Just because a card does not have G-sync doesn't mean it will lag holly shit, the card is more then enough to power 1440p so there should be no issue, otherwise they would tear on 1080p going by your logic.

First of all not all monitors are G-Sync compatible. I own 3 r9-290's and with burn in I played games at 1440p with no tearing, no lag, and played as smooth as butter.

it will lag at 1440p and 4k without g-sync

no the card can get you around 60fps but still you will get tearing

not talking about 3 way corssofire

obviously you will have a great experience

[Imabigmac]

Okay so my opinion, if you can afford to do it get a 1440p monitor. Unless a higher refresh rate is required or Budget is concern.

I didn't run them in crossfire. I ram them separately so the load was greater for burn in. Do you even know what G-Sync does? It doesn't improve performance, it stop the tearing and stuttering by allowing the card to control the onscreen frame rate. If you were to have a FPS dip from 60 to 30, it will be a lot less noticeable keeping the frames smoother.

I really hope you're trolling (:

[JoshM]

To the OP, ignore what has been said about tearing and the bullshit said that you need G-Sync, Get a 1440P monitor and happy gaming!

i did not say it improves performance did i? i said it improves the general overall smooth and gameplay

unlike mantle which just boost fps at low res lol

lol sure

have fun op at tearing

I'm sorry, but a GTX titan SLI with 3 way 4k surround won't lag at all. Yes it does make it smoother and that's it's whole purpose. Mantle does more than that, I tested it with a R7-250 and a a8-5600k and it boosted my FPS even at 1080p. It does help for people gaming at low resolution too.
