SLI'ing 290 vs 780

[Conditions]

Hello, I'm curious if SLI'ing 290's or 780's. Which one is better?

Better for what?

The GTX 780 would be a bit better for lower resolutions, whereas the R9 290 is better for higher resolutions due to the higher amount of VRAM.

IMO crossfire the 290s and call it a wrap.

the 290s are better at a higher resolution, so if your planning on crossfiring to play maxed at 1440p or triple monitor then go with the 290s. make sure you get a good cooling model though, the 290 and 290x get hot.

the better question would be "is my psu good enough for crossfire/sli?"

what psu do you have/thinking of buying?
