In Thief 2014 Players control Garrett, a master thief, as he intends to steal from the rich. Similar to previous games in the series, players must use stealth in order to overcome challenges, while violence is left as a minimally effective last resort.
We tested the OverclockersUK “Infinity Vesuvius” system at Ultra HD 4K at High settings – these are the same settings we have used in recent high end graphics card reviews – and are ideal to compare against other graphics card configurations.
We also test at ‘Very High' settings which has never been perfectly playable with any graphics card configuration to date at 4K. We found that the R9 295X2 in QuadXFire didn't take ANY performance hit moving from high to very high image quality settings. There may be some CPU limiting taking place, even at 3,840×2,160 however the Crossfire profile of this game may not be optimised for QuadX – additionally Mantle rendering Crossfire support is not working either.
Performance is exceptionally high, while the variables are not massively higher than a single R9 295X2, we could increase the graphics quality from High to Very High without any kind of performance hit.

I just wet myself with excitment. I love these crazy builds – ill never own one, so reading about it, is the next best thing !
Dear lord, a 1,500 watt power supply ! my own system which I thought was good is just hiding in the corner of the room crying like a little girl.
Those 3dMARK scores are insane. wtf is about all I can say.
What would this be like over 3 1920×1080 displays (eyefinity)?
Where do they got money ? i just have an 200$ or 150$ laptop 🙁 and thanks god that i have one).
Amazing performance from the 295×2. I’m impressed.
I just impressed with its resolution. 3840 x 2160! Your eyes!!! Ehem…
Ill be using this pc over the coming days using a paltry 5760×1080, will report back with some results.
Hi Rich – very envious! Let us know how you get on 🙂
Can honestly say this system runs absolutely everything at maximum graphical settings. I have to run an FPS limiter to match my 3 x monitors refresh rates in order to run titles without CPU limiting. It’s quiet, like really quiet considering the horsepower inside. One downside is the heat the system produces after a gaming session. So hot in fact I had to buy an airconditioning unit to cool the room down, still at maximum power the cpu and graphics temperatures never breach 65 degrees Celsius. It looks sweet too, the GPu’s automatically light up when in use, and turn off in idle mode. I’ll give this system a very commendable 9/10 purely down to heat, everything else is Great!
Congrats on wonderful system, Rich. I have my own cheaper setup using old rig, and ghetto mods on a HafX chassis to exhaust both cards hot air front and back. In my place where amb temp run at about 30-33C I am hitting 72-73C on BF4. If only we have winters here, this rig could be a good heater!!!
What a waste, the 4770 doesn’t even have enough pci-e lanes to run two cards in full x16 mode
because there is no card that need pcie 3.0 x16. x8 is enough for anything out right now.
