What GPU setup?

Should I use 2 290 or a 780ti for gaming at 1080p 144hz???

290

290 in crossfire over a single 780 ti

2 290s will smke a 780ti. A 780ti barely outperforms a 290x so 2 of them will smoke it

Dual 290

290s > 780. If you take price into consideration, the 780 is about 50% more expensive for maybe 20% more performance. This isn't scientific, this is just my assumption.

Its actually far less than this a 780ti beats a 290x by about 5% and a 290x beats a 290 by about 3-5% so at most 10% difference stock and thats game dependent once you get into overclocking those numbers get smaller.

 

Regardless either is overkill for 1080p and the 290s really close the gap at higher res.

2x290 >.< Really 780Ti only beats it by 10-15 FPS with 1 290... 2x760s beat 780Tis in SLI optimised games..... so 2x290s WILL beat the ever loving crap out a 780ti...
