Seems to beat the nv crowd as resolution/details go up - e.g 4k/1440p - but loses to titan and sometimes 780 at more normal resolutions - e.g. 1080p.

Yep.

It pretty much has GTX 780 in majority of games at all resolutions. 1440P it beats the GTX 780 at most games and Titan at some. 1600P and its beating or on par with Titan in more or less everything, 4k and eyefinity setups the AMD card is the clear victor over Titan.

Then factor how much it cost! :D

I play at 1600p so its a win :D

Now to find my 7970 receipts and sell them - I got two sapphires when they were on 3 year warranty so they still have some cover left. Presuming it wasnt retrospectively reduced back to 2.
 
Busy here this morning, anything special happening? :D

Must admit am impressed with the price and performance of the 290x.

Good job AMD but couldnt they have designed a better reference cooler?

The cooler does an acceptable job for someone using the card out the box.

But some of us like me, like to overclock, so 3rd party designs will be welcome, or just throw an EK block on it. Were selling the compatible EK blocks now, also online. :)
 
oooo what can the NDA card be ?? ;)


And it does look like a great card for the money! shame its not as big a step up as i was hoping for! :(
 
Damn you gibbo


I can see my boy getting my 7970 for playing that graphically intensive mine craft game he plays and forcing me to upgrade :)

Look cracking tell us more about clocks with voltage unlocked :)
