R9 290x Matrix Platinum Crossfire problem :(

It doesn't work that way... Scaling from two cards can be none (rare) or almost 100% (also rare). Typically you see around 60-80% scaling depending on the game, resolution, and image quality settings. One of the several drawbacks of multi GPU is that you occasionally get a AAA title like TW3 and there is no initial support.
Multi GPUs are not for someone that doesn't know what they are doing sadly as there are, as you are finding out, little problems along the way. There are much less with a single card, but, IIRC, you are using a high res/multiple monitors so... you didn't have much choice.
To answer your question, you can lower settings in game... the AA or image quality.

ok thanks.i just bought 2nd card because i want to upgrade to 4K monitor in future and tought that would be good decission.....at the moment using FHD sony tv..dont know what to do now ??sell 2 of them andg get one better one??or just leave them and they will work better in new games??
TW3 IS a new game... I would imagine a better CFx profile will come out for it being a AAA title...
That said, my advice from your other thread was to run with one now, then when you get your 4K monitor, THEN use the second or buy a single more powerful card...
... but for 4K you really need two of most any GPU at this time, so, you are in a pickle.... Perhaps 4K just isn't for you at this time due to the complications/PITA of running a multi-GPU setup. Maybe stick with one and get a 2560x1440 IPS 120Hz panel and game on that...
Your poor Cheiftec PSU is likely crapping itself trying to run your rig......(I do not believe that to be the problem here note... just a nice way to say get yourself that EVGA Supernova G2 850W/1000W PSU I also mentioned in the other thread).

Yes, you can disable crossfire in the AMD CCC and turn it back on at will. I've found that doing so I normally need to reboot for the changes to be 'official'.
It is mostly up to you right now how you would want to handle it. As EarthDog said, right now 4K is only truly playable with a dual-card solution (to get any respectable FPS near 60 anyway). Hopefully drivers will continue to improve and better crossfire profiles will be added (as they usually do).

You can disable Crossfire in CCC, yes. You can do that.
As I said earlier, it depends on the game. Some perform really well with 2 cards, others not so well. But since you are at 1080p/FHD, there are few reasons to game with 2 290x's at this time in my opinion.
