I'm currently using the 570 GTX. I want to play on the high resolution, but BF4 is lagging even when playing on a secondary monitor (1680x1050) with the big monitor connected :wtf:

Another U2713HM is in the pipleline, but if one is even making lower res gaming lag, then what on earth will 2 connected simultaneously do?! :erm:
What GPU will solve this first world problem?

Heretic what do you use for cooling that 290? Do you have an aftermarket cooler? 290 is awesome but reports of its loudness are offputting.

Stock cooler , its loud , but softer then 7970 REF and gtx 480

at 50% speed is decent , 55% tad loud , i keep at 55% as its hot in cpt atm , need be 55% or the card throttles.
If i run 47% which is default card throttles to 900mhz or so.

My case cooling is not the best also.

Atiboy told me he run his 100% fan speed 24/7 lol , its really insanely loud , but max temp is then 71c

Hectic... But what about slowdown, when a second monitor is added? (but not gamed on)

even when it throttles bf4 was running fine , i only noticed throttled after i checked msi afterburner logs .

Will add my lg 23 inch today as second monitor today, only full HD.

Apparently you don't need to worry about temps so much with these cards. They've been optimally designed to peak perform at 85c

What GPU(s) would be required to run BF4 at 60 FPS on Ultra or High settings at 3x 2560x1440?
