    R9-290X Crossfire Low FPS in Metro: Last Light

Yeah, I never thought of that as I was always tinkering with the settings in the "Video" section, and not the "Gameplay" section. Either way, hope this helps, as...

    To upgrade or not to upgrade?

    Yeah I think I'll wait a year at least before doing any major changes. The SSD is a great idea, unfortunately where I live they're quite expensive, but will try to find one or two. The eyefinity idea is also great, but i'm hesitant cause of how the games might scale on that, especially games...
