Posted July 30, 2016 Hey everyone I was curious how the 290x is holding up these days - I've got one, a 290x PCS+, I used to have 2, but I sold the second one. I'm now thinking of getting another one with a Kraken G10 as 4k monitors are coming down in price so much that it's looking doable in the next few months. Either that, or 1440p. I've got quite a backlog of games still to get through from the last couple of years (TW3, TW: Attila, GTA V, Dark Souls 2 & 3, to name a few). So, my questions more or less are as follows:- Is 290x Crossfire still a good choice for 4k? Would I need a second 290x for a fluid 1440p experience? Is it likely AMD will continue to support the 290x for a while in terms of driver updates etc? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 30, 2016 I would sell that card and get a newer card ... SLI/Crossfire has too much problems and much better to have better single card anyways. Well driver support is hard to say but i can say this what type of games are you playing? Do they need crossfire/do they even supported crossfire/how much performance increase. 290x. At 1400p, It should be fine at 4K? No Magical Pineapples
