You'll get closer to 60fps. There also might be micro-stutter with your cards.

If he plays on a 1080P set, it doesn't even matter.You'll get closer to 60fps. There also might be micro-stutter with your cards.

Don't lure him into your madness
You don't read posts do you?If he plays on a 1080P set, it doesn't even matter.

He has stated multiple times and made multiple threads about him playing at 4K on a 290x. A one generation old gpu can only take you so far at 4K. He doesn't seem to care about 60fps (he's been playing at 30fps), but a lot of games won't play at 4K with a 290x without really dialing down the settings.
From what I've read online, one powerful card>>>>>>>>>>>>SLI/Crossfire.
It seems like crossfire/SLI support isn't as widely supported and comes with annoyances to get it working sometimes.
Plus less heat and less headaches.
Your 290X will do you fine for now. You could realistically run 4K 30fps on newer games(granted some games may demand you lower settings to achieve 30fps).

@Ciggavelli got that work damn NASA launch system in his house
True I can run 4K 30FPS no problem nothing higher
1440p 60-75 fps should be the deal for PCs now and consoles next gen.
What is 1440p resolution?
Basically 2K/Quad HD.
2560 x 1440
Your TV probably doesn't support it I don't think. You most likely need to buy a 1440p monitor.
The difference in 1440p isn't that much compared to 4K (especially since you'd be using around a 27" monitor), and you'll get better fps. 1440p is where it's at right now. Much better than 1080p, without the humongous fps drops you'll see at 4K with just one card.
Whats a good program to measure fraps? I use fraps but sometimes it doesnt appear when I am playing
My tv goes up too 4026 I have it. Edit meant 4096
you can set up the Steam overlay to display fps
That doesn't mean it supports 1440p. My Samsung 4K doesn't. It goes all green and flashes if I try 1440p on it. It's 1080p or 4K. 1440p isn't a typical tv resolution. It's normally associated with monitors.
