I got this card to play at 1080p.... In 3D

 

[8 Pack]

Good choice I think!! I sold an 8 pack system to someone playing 1080P 3 x Titans!! Seriously!!!

It wasn't frosty was it?

Ha!! Wouldn't he rather buy a couple (or 4) 780Ti's once released?

Good Work 8pack,.

But I am amazed at some of the responses to this thread. 8 Pack does benches, why anyone would expect to FPS in games in this thread is beyond me.

Don't you know the only real way to game is with an LN2 tank strapped to your house, on constant feed

Gag of the day goes to Petey.

Oh but the night is still so young.

Besides, I think Jen-Hsun Huang topped the charts earlier

True that was vintage. As usual though some jobsworth reported the posts.

It would have been deleted anyway and it's quite clear it's someone from here already on a dupe account.

Twas funny, but rather sad at the same time.

 

[Uncle Petey]

Unbelievable... I'm not saying it was Suarez, but it was Suarez

ED: Holy ****^

I didn't RTM that post, ask the mods if you want they'll tell you.

 

[Uncle Petey]

I merely jest

8 pack you HAVE to benchmark the first Crysis game under LN2 maxed out.... I've always been so curious as to what the LN2 benching rigs with stupidly clocked parts could pull in Crysis with every cranked up.

So in a forum named overclockers, the graphics card section, a thread titled "8 pack looks at the R9 290x", that would be OCUK's own 8 pack the multiple word record holder and people are moaning that he isn't benching games.

Shakes head in dismay.

Anand have Crysis Warhead numbers, 290X absolutely demolishes 780 even @ stock @ 1080p.

I will do one game. With like single card at 1500mhz and 4930K at 6.15+ One game thats all. I bench!!!

So votes for the game bench in this thread please.

I really want to get one just to beat Broomsticks 780 though.

Lol,

Challenge accepted, although you will have an unfair advantage. I mean I assume you will be using LN2 if you want to attempt to overclock the 290X

Here's the score ya need to beat - Score P15082 - http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7348851

Hope you have lot's of LN2

We already know that a mere 290 pro with a modest OC beats an overbuilt bench model 780 going balls out...
