I recently bought a couple of 290s and looking to upgrade my cpu and board.
I am considering the 4820k because of the 16x/16x pcie lga2011 lanes for the 290 crossfire.
But I've read that 4770k is faster but only will use 8x/8x for crossfire.
Cant find a definitive answer on whether the 290 saturates a 3.0 x16 lane.
I can buy them at the same price, the 4820k is cheaper by $20-30.
