Anyone like solving stuff?

the R9 295x2 is available pretty cheap these days

If you look at my build the 390x's will perform better then that space heater.

no doubt but there is almost £100 saving to be made with the 295 over the 390x's

More like £40. Also the 390xs will perform better and will allow for a better experience. The 295x2 is basically two 290x's and isn't a very well optimized card.

fair enough, just pointing out the option. Mine runs fine (not running 4k, 3 x 1080)

i'd like to add that my acer TC-603 (i7-4770 & gt640) runs OpenTTD at 2x2560x1440 at a perfect 60 fps.

(almost as many pixels as 4K)

 

so theoretically that thing fits into this thread perfectly, at a whopping cost of €700.

It's much closer to 1080p than 4k. 1080p is about 2 MP, 1440p is about 3.6 MP, 4k is about 8 MP.

2x 1440p.

2x 1440p.

On a range from 1-100, 50 is not almost 100.

4K = 8MP, 1440p = 3.6MP, so 2x1440p = 7.2

which would put me at 90 out of 100.

 

i'd test with an actual 4K monitor instead of 2 1440p monitors, but i'm not that rich. (i cri evritim.)

I was sadly mistaken. I thought it was a single monitor. Didn't see the 2x part in the original post.
