| Got the card installed. The good: Before: My fps in MWO was between 30 and 40 on lowest settings. After: It's between 40 and 50, on the highest possible settings, . (On lowest, with vsync off, it's beyond 150 or so :lol: ) The bad: The Catalyst 13.11b7 drivers are definitely still beta. Getting a lo... |

| Thanks for the info, frag85. Good to hear from someone else running MWO in a multi-screen setup. Seeing how the R9-290X just hit the stores, all reviews show that it is optimized for large resolutions, and it is pretty affordable (especially compared to a Titan), I just ordered one. Should be here b... |

| Ok, thank you all for the help. I think I'll wait to see what the R9 290 release will bring (price and performance wise). If that's in the stratosphere like the Titan, I think the best course of action would be two R9 280s. Even if I don't get crossfire working, one should give me a big boost over m... |

And when pushing those 7 million pixels, how important is the amount of memory?
I can get the 770 with up to 4GB, while the 780 only comes with 3GB. The Titan comes with 6GB.
Will less memory just influence texture detail, or will it influence fps as well? |

Thank you for the quick reply!
That's actually better performance than I'd expected. Didn't know the 5850 was that outdated 
Say I was willing to spend extra, would you hazard a guess at what I could expect from a 780 or a Titan? Would that give a significant increase over a 770? |

| Hi, I'm new here :wave: with a question. My current setup is a 3770K and a Radeon 5850, running three 1920x1200 24" displays. My gaming consists mostly of Mechwarrior Online at the moment. On my current rig, running 5760x1200 , I manage to scrape in about 30 fps on lowest settings. Playable, bu... |
