4K with Saphire Tri-X 290

rawad · Oct 16, 2014

Hey guys

I am thinking of buying a 4k monitor , seems all reviews show benchmarks of 290 on ultra , which i know is not sufficient .
will a 290 be sufficient for normal quality on modern games , ( bf3 , bf4 for example ) .

Thanks

Yes, be warned that some of these 4k panels though have issues on the 290/x so I would research them before you purchase due to problems with the refresh. The AOC 28inch is a good buy for 4k and the issue is resolved.

That one is one of the 2 main ones that tend to have issues with the R9 290/X series sadly so I would advise against it. It causes flickering at refresh rates 40hz+ and from what I have seen it has not been resolved on all models yet. I could be wrong but I had not seen any resolutions posted yet for the issue and its something to do with the way those panels on the monitor interact with the cards via DP.

Thanks again !
i did some digging , seems catalyst 14.9 fixes this issue , also saw some comments from people who had this problem and they confirmed that the new driver solves this .
