    We need a second standard benchmark for 1080p x3 w/multiview to go along with the current 1080p one we have now.

    Hi SnijdersB,

    You should use the exact same settings to put your result in graphic. The AA used in "all" tests was 3x. The settings are inside the .Rar that have the replay file.

    I'd love to see what SLI'd 760 4GBs would do in RF2. It seems to be touted as a 780 killer for most games, for the same cost as many single 780's. I'm considering that to replace my 7950HD, which while a great card, is very disappointing in RF2.

    I recently upped to a 780 classy from a 7970 ghz helped with info from this thread must say thanks for everyone's input here. The difference is as everyone said massive.
    Also have it same settings as bench at 5900x1080 aswell, ill do bench again at 1920x1080 and 5780x1080 also would be good info for people.

    If it cost as much as a single 780, why SLI 760? there is no reason, SLI = higher temps, higher Wattage, Higher noise ... if you like that things just buy an AMD :D
    If it is cheaper, then, ok, I aaccept it as an alternative, but if they cost the same, always going to a single GPU is better.

    If you look up some 780 v's 2x 760 reviews, the SLI setup seems to beat the 780 by about 30% extra FPS or so. That's the ONLY reason to consider it, yes :)

    That said, I'm going to wait until the next build, to see 1) does AMD performance improve, or 2) does SLI work better (or, at all?)

    didnt knew that, then you have to compare cons vs pro, and decide what you want.
    About your 1 & 2, I think the answer for both questions is: they will not change.

    Hope Im wrong, but seeing how build changed, the same questions is doing all the times ''will AMD performance increase?'' and when they do, nVidia do it too, so there is no ''AMD improvement''. And the same with SLI.

    In fact, the performance of the 290 increased significantly with the current beta driver, though not all problems are solved I have already a decent performance on triples without much lost.

    I'm new coming to this thread. Forgive me if I'm asking a question for which an answer is already buried somewhere in the 16 pages. I see the in-game settings to use for the benchmark test. But what about the Nvidia control panel settings? Is there a standard to be used there? And what about the HDR profile?

    Edit: Also, my system won't show 1920x1080 in rF2 even when I enable it in Nvidia CP. My native res is 1680x1050.

    Honestly, it is nothing to take much serious, it was just any bench to get an idea about the performance. In my case it makes no sense to bench a card rf2 don't knows when even AMD himselfs don't know there card well and need to work on drivers while it's already available in the shops. Bad timing but it's worth the trouble. The 290 is great and i already have a performance boost with the current beta's. Now i hope some other improvement comes with the following builds. The single car performance on triples is brutal with my current settings and the game speed is great than. All the cars feel different above 120 fps.

    What the heck, here is what I got with a GTX560ti-448 on a borrowed 1920x1080 monitor.

    Stock speed
    Frames: 8813 - Time: 199806ms - Avg: 44.108 - Min: 30 - Max: 56

    OC'd as in my rF2 profile
    Frames: 10638 - Time: 199743ms - Avg: 53.258 - Min: 34 - Max: 70

    Needless to say, triple screen with these settings brought it to it's knees.

    I tested without overclocking CPU and the result is the same. I don't need to overclock CPU to get this framerate in both resolutions.

    What do you get when multiview is on at 5040x1050?
