Lol, I was gonna wait until Next year to change mobo / cpu / case etc, but thought na I'll do it now. Wasn't using PC for gaming much, but then Wolfenstein came out :o

Had a 7950, but got an offer on the Tri X OC that was really good. The only problem I has with the 290X was temps / noise. This Tri X fixes those issues and at this price is spot on imho.

On Wolfenstein gone from 1440P Medium HD 7950 to Ultra 290X. Good card.
