    Hey all,

    I have 2x 295's in my system. AMD's lack of support and general lack of crossfire support has made me think about switching to Nvidia.

    I've been offered a great deal for 2x Titan X cards. I was planning to wait buy would you make the switch for a great deal?

    Thanks for any advice.

    I'm not looking to start a fanboy war, just some geniune opinions.

    Thanks

    I mean you have a Quad-fire, 4x290X's and you expect games to run flawlessly on all cards? You should known better when you bought them.

    You can sell one 295 and wait for 390X.

    Sure if it's worth it money wise then why not, but maybe Undying has a better deal though.

    Maybe it would be best to sell one then see what AMD has to offer, maybe it'll be a bit cheaper for you in the end.

    And yeah.. Undying is right.. quad fire is only worth it if you have 4k and a crossfire capable game.. :D Otherwise, money wasted.

    Sell them and get either 2 780ti, or 2 390x. stick with 2 way sli/x fire.

    Really, 780ti's? He would be far better with 970's.

    Like i said, best would be to sell one 295 and keep the other one while waiting for 390X or 980ti.

    Cheers lads. I'm just on my way to get the Titan X's I made a huge mistake buying AMD. I mean technically the cards are wonderful but they don't make the effort driver side so you end up with expensive hardware that isn't up to the task.

    I hope AMD can return stronger in the future, but I'm heading back to nvidia.

    might as well wait for the 980ti in a few weeks, that's what I'm planning to do, still curious about the 390x too.

    Hilbert already has the 980 ti in house. I would expect a review very soon along with the release of the card.

    I'd be curious to know about the 390x but probably not enough to go back to AMD. Once burned and all that...

    nVidia 2 sli support is very good. You should have a blast.
