Which graphics cards do you think would be the best for 4K. Also, with AMDs R9 290X with 4GBs of GDDR5 and Nvidia's GTX 780 TI with 3GBs of GDDR5 would the R9 actually take advantage of that extra GB and make it a better card for playing at 4K? Let me know what you guys think.

2 290s, they are around the same price as a 780Ti

I think you mean 2 290Xs

no because the cheapest 290x is 450 and the cheapest 290 is 350

I think the 780 ti is a bit more expensive than 350, especially considering it's about £500 at the cheapest.

I can play games like BF4 at 5760 x 1080 with tweaked med-high settings with one R9 290X.

 

Mostly just use eyefinity for Civ 5 however.
