@OP; post picture of your cabinet internals

I will do it soon, I have a Bad Cable Management lating down inside so give me few days and I shall Pic the Whole in Clean Way.


CAN I Xfire This 290 with its upcoming Sapphire TriX version ? Or I again have to get a Reference one?

If gaming is what you only want then it's a perfect choice at this price otherwise there's Dell S2420L but it has no DVI port. Anyway, if you want to CF in future then the check out BenQ XL series monitors .

waiting to see a pic of your complete set

Happy gaming.

Thanks mate, you relieved me.

Ya that is why I took this one. Its working quite fine . But I will going for a 1440p monitor next time, so any BenQ one would cost me like?

And as expected and Predicted - A slight bottleneck is happening . Will the OC of CPU will work good or I have to play with some extra money to get a new upcoming AMD CPU?

don't know about the availability of any 1440p monitors from Benq in here but you may have a look at the Dell UltraSharp U2713HM @ ~45k or Asus PB278Q @43k.

R9 290 & R9 290X is really a budget card as per the performance ratio.

Have a look GUYS..

Thanks Top. I would go either with Asus or Dell.

Now, CRYSIS 3- ALL MAX Out with 2x SMAA - AVG Frame-50 --- DO you think its fine? I think the card should be giving 60 but due to the bottleneck issue, its getting constrained.

Right?

 

[ASHISH65]

^its fine, might be slight bottleneck

 

[Arnab]

^its fine, might be slight bottleneck

Alright.

And Also a Curious Question to ask-

How come Nvidia out-Performing AMD cards in 2 most fascinated games - Far Cry 3 and Crysis 3 ?

Even EVGA 780 sc is performing better than both 290 cards. I need a SOLID on this question as this is crippling my mind from last 2 weeks
