R9 290 Eyefinity benchmarks

[strikerP4]

Any seen any numbers for eyefinity on a R9 290? I'm considering upgrading from my two 6970s.

at the same clocks a R9 290 is 5 - 7% slower than R9 290X. so you can easily extrapolate R9 290 CF performance from R9 290X CF

I was actually hoping maybe someone did some non-CF benchmarks. I usually buy a video card every other Gen and in-between I grab another for CF but not until the following GEN is release and everyone starts dumping their current cards for cheap.

If you have some money lying around, now is a good time to sniff around for 290s since many are dumping theirs.

I've seen one guy report he got a 290 for as low as $350 here on the forum, but he didn't specify where. (I assumed it was somewhere other than [H], since all the [H] sellers continue to gouge even when supply is greater than demand atm.)
