Time to buy a 290 or wait a little more

It's an off-topic but this 290's 2D performance is abysmal. Not sure what is going on with AMD - they used to have excellent 2D quality/performance.

elaborate?

If you WB a Ref 290 with either an EK or XSPC RAZOR WB it will be as competitive and beat the nVidia 780Ti in resolutions over 1440p.

I run 2 x's Sapphire R9 290X's BF4 (Elpida- CRAP) under RAZORS in X-Fire on a $300 Korean QINIX 2570 Evo II 2560x1440 Rez display and it's astounding @ 120Hz to the point I want 2 more QNIX's.

Mine work fine, please explain what I am missing and what 2D performance should be like.
