Upgrade from GTX 690
Hi guys,
I decided to upgrade my GTX 690 because it doesn't give me good performance in double precision and sometimes i have issues with only 2 GB of VRAM with 3 screens.
I was thinking to move to Radeon cards, and i was looking for a crossfire of stock R9 290X.
in gaming a single R9 290X should perform 10-15% slower than a GTX 690, but with only 1 GPU.
I have some questions:
- will R9 290X run DirectX 12?
- how much is double precision performance of a R9 290X card? (GTX 690 has 1/24 performance compared with Quadro cards)
- Will a Core i7 3770K @4,0 GHz bottleneck 2xR9 290 cards?
- Will a dual-GPU R9 card be released?
I already have a good 1000W PSU and a good and fresh case.
