Best 290X on the market, the only card which rivals the Lightning is the Vapor-X and you could argue the PCS+ is a good card, but at this price this card is hands down winner!

Bear in mind, this is a spot buy, MSI just sold me their inventory to get clear, we've pre-sold 20 already so we might be taking them off-sale soon as we only got 164pc coming in.

Ordered....

Worth a punt at that money. The other 2 don't interest me one bit ;)

So why not just keep one of the 1st Lightnings you bought to do the same job. :o

That was for a different project that needed two cards, unfortunately it didn't work due to the size of the cards. This is not going to be a problem with my new 750D case, however.

What did they clock like & what should I expect on average?

One did 1275 with +200mv and was stable for short benching runs. A touch more would have taken it further. The other did around 1265 with +200mv but a lot of artifacts. Both were better clockers than all of my reference cards so far.
 
That monitor is sexy as hell but can someone explain the differences between that one and the other 34 inch curved LG monitor that is currently for sale.

Hmm! i'll be satisfied with that. They're only going in a second machine for a tinker. Time to see what this Mental Mantles all about in BF4.

What's the best drivers to use. I presume the latest? Not ran AMD for a good while.

God damnit Gibbo, why do you always drop these deals when I feel I finally know what I want? Might give this card nd monitor a bash over the MSI 970 and LG 34" I had planned to get, why not!

At 3440x1440 a 290X should beat a 970 due to better memory interface. :)
