Videocard for 2560x 1080 gaming

[ds-berserk]

Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade my GTX580. I've been having slowdowns in D3 ROS and I think it's time to get an upgrade.
I also play BioShock Infinite so I want a card that can handle some good graphics.

I don't have a set budget but if for example a 280x would be enough I'd rather save the cash over a 290.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. That a really good price. Why is it so cheaper than the other 290s?

Because OcUK are having fun at the moment, grab one and enjoy.

They are really good and very cool. They used to cost £379.99 back at the start of the year so.. count yourself lucky!

Now I need to match a small mini ITX case for it and I can order. Thanks for your help.

Tri-X fits in a Coolermaster Elite 130 as I've tried it. Card is a touch longer than a reference 290 due to cooler, approx 310mm

Bloody hell, How much has that 290 come down in price, never realised.

I might actually consider a micro atx as it gives me the possibilty to adda 2nd card later.

I would have to agree with the above, or possibly the Gigabyte 780.

when did the 290 get so cheap? Nice.

Just last week actually.

The price of the 290 makes it a real deal compared to the 280x and even the Nvidia cards.

Wait a week or so for the new gen nvidia cards and see what's what then
