Radeon R9 295X2 vs GTX 970 sli for 4k gaming .... looking for some benchmarks

[Gabriel Ospina]

i do know that people will say the gtx 970 is better but i want to see some benchmarks on it compared to the 295x2 , price wise they are practically the same... i have seen the radeon r9 295x2 for 650 bucks and i am thinking about getting it. i do know i need a monster psu for it also.... but before i make my decision , i want to know if there is any benchmarks on 4k comparing the 2... i have looked all over but i cant see a side by side comparison in 4k ...

thanks alot , it seems the r9 295x2 is a bit better in 4k then the gtx 970 in sli , and i found them both at the same price in pcpartspicker , would have to compensate for the psu but im headed for the r9 295x2

Ya if you have the PSU to power it the 295x2 is actually a good choice at 4k. If you have to upgrade you're PSU for the AMD card then I would get the 970's.

If you're going with the 295x2, well if you're getting 2 anyways, get the Evga Supernova 1600w P2. It's actually cheaper than the Corsair AX1500i and it has 100 more watts.

you have the r9 295x2 quad crossfire .... i was thinking about that also , is it worth it with a i7 4790k in 4.8ghz??? or will it be bottlenecking would it be good with a rosewill hercules also 1600W?

Yeah, that one is nice too, since it is the best z97 board CPU. So no, no bottleneck. And I'm not saying the Rosewill PSUs are bad, but just doesn't seem as popular as Evga, Corsair, or XFX.

and what do you think about the quad crossfire , alot of people are saying its overkill and it wont utilize the 4th gpu , how are the fps for you in 4k?

I'll check it right now in BF4, but I'm about to pass out since I feel so sick and dizzy, lol.

Okay, BF4, between 50 and 90, mostly like 60-70.

i am contemplating going quad crossfire cause of cost , i would have to put 500 for the 4k monitor also ,

You might wanna beef up your RAM to 12+ GB if you want to be more future proof and into the safe zone. Also I'd get WD Black HDD instead of blue since that's the best one overall. The case only has a max of 4 fans, so that's really bad for so much power running creating so much heat, you should consider the Corsair 500r, it has a pretty good cooling solution. But everything else looks good to me.

This is my RAM usage with just BF4 running, that RAM monitoring box, and some apps like Steam, Origin, AMD Gaming Evolved...etc.

This would be best for you, a good case with a lot of fan slots, you can change the color of it if you wish. That is the cheapest 4k 60Hz monitor they have if you don't want to spend $560 on the Samsung or Asus one.
