    I couldn't tell you, single cards are normally a better option due to compatibility, heat etc

    At 1080p you won't need to CF or SLI

    Realistically if you're looking to play BF4 at true 'ultra' at 1080p the R9 290 is a better option. Cheaper cards admittedly aren't as acoustic friendly but at the end of the day, I prefer to favour raw performance over other factors (except the stock R9 290 when it first came out - that was actually like a hairdryer).

    It's a shame Nvidia didn't allow Sli with the 750Ti, that would have been a monster!

    Hi Terror Firmer is is a starting card do you reckon? i just checked the price there is seems not too bad like i would stretch to it if it was a card for now and a few years down the road.

    The R9 290 is a league ahead of the 280X. Well worth it for the few extra euro and it's longevity will be far better.
