Can two R9 290 beat a Titan X or 980ti?

[Everendless]

Hello all. I made a video showing my build beating the scores of a Titan X, and a 980 ti in a 4k Firestrike benchmark. 

This shows that even lower end cards can produce 4k content just as good as some $1000 plus cards.

Thank you Linus for all you amazing videos. They have helped me so much!

For the record, the 980 Ti has the potential to beat the Titan X and sometimes does which is $650. Yes, you can have slower cards in SLI or Crossfire beat more expensive cards, but you have a chance of running into a game that doesn't play well with dual, triple, or quad card setups and thus, you are limited to a single card, severely limiting performance, which is why most people recommend a single more powerful card over two or more weaker cards in SLI/Crossfire.

Good luck with your mega stuttering! One GPU that is nearly as powerful as two others is better than the two.

Yep. ^ This ^

Yes, 2 R9 290s in XFire can beat a Titan X/980 Ti in some situations. Although you may run into programs where a dual card setup or higher won't run well(micro shuttering, driver support, poorer performance). Take a look at the R9 295X2, it's the most powerful single graphics card out there. While it may be the most powerful single graphics card, it's not certainly the best. 

It's like Voodoo 5 6000 if anybody knows what it is.

All of this I knew before I even bought any gpus at all. With direct X 12 coming soon, I am confident my AMD cards will show true colors. I got these cards for cheap, and already had my cpu water cooled.

If I wanted to buy a 980 ti, or titan x, the cost of the cards PLUS the waterblock will be insane compared to what I spent on these.

 

There are not many games I have a single problem with. Mostly I play BF4, which has mantle. So my build is perfect for that.

 

Obviously this is a synthetic benchmark. I know gaming is a different story. But mega stuttering is not the case at all haha. True green team I see hahahaa

bro i have two 290x's and i run everything i play smooth as butter

True green team is wrong, AMD had YEARS of problems with Crossfire frametimes, and has only recently fixed them in the last two-three years. HD7000Series onwards.

 

Sure, you don't notice it now, its been pretty much sorted, but it was a FUCKING JOKE (to run crossfire) before they implemented frametime fix's and frame pacing.

 

/Most people were burned by this enough to ditch AMD altogether.

Nvidia had issues too, but at THE time, Nvidia was better at delivering consistent frametimes.

 

Either way, if its working great, and your getting what you want out of it... sweet as.

And now check out Direct X 12 with Nvidia cards. I can't wait to see the problems people will have with team green when AMD RISES AGAIN !! (Evil sounding)

All I know is my cards are powerful. I will be getting a Samsung 4k monitor within a few weeks. Can't wait to see some 4k games.

Awesome brother. Love my 290s
