This card is amazing guys!! The number sin Heaven, 11, Firestrike and Firestrike X are bone crunching. CPU is limit in testing so a live bench with CPU on LN2 is called for I think.

Interesting.

I'd take the Sapphire just for the suitcase

 

[leoncao]

Sapphire has bathe best package here don't think asus worth the extra.

 

[Marine-RX179]

wonder if they'll drop to 400 quid like the 7990s lol
one can dream right? xD

7990 was launched at £800+ though, so forget dropping to £400, we'd lucky to see it drop even to £500-£600.

 

[tamzzy]

yea i guess. not looking to upgrade anytime soon though, my 7990 can handle anything chucked at it for now

 

[Something Else]

with water blocks i hope?

Then drop the psu and get the water blocks. Still will prob end up at or around the asus price even keeping the psu.

 

[Defy Belief]

Ugly as sin but quick as anything, amazed they're only 2x8 pin?

Assuming ASUS MSI and Gigabyte carry higher premiums due to the extra year warranty, obviously MSI and Giga's are better RMA service so not sure why the Asus is £60 more.

Are these 8Gb usable VRAM or 8Gb shared so effectively 4gb?

 

[Aeleys]

Holy cow... maybe if I win the lotto

2x4GB

 

[hlxbravo]

That Asus box you could do your bit for the homeless and leave them outside for someone to sleep in !

Think I shall wait until one hits the "B" grade section.........................

 

[deFiniLoGy]

"Infinity Vesuvius" Intel Core i7 4770K @ 4.6GHz Quad GPU Extreme Gaming PC

Wouldn't a [email protected] bottleneck 2X R9 295x2???

 

[Locky]

hahaha 1100 quid.. NOPE.

 

[8 Pack]

Wouldn't a [email protected] bottleneck 2X R9 295x2???

All CPU do man unless playing at very high res and across multiple monitors. You need like 6ghz - 6.1ghz to stop this from happening.

The AMD system we built with two of these cards in I improved heaven 4 maxed out score by 400-500pts just by tuning RAM proving that RAM and CPU where bottleneck.

 

[thel33ter]

Surely the 4gb effective Vram would also be a bottleneck at any kind of resolution and settings that would test these cards?

 

[subbytna]

We've pre-sold three already.

Some banker has a bonus to spend

 

[nitram100]

Price is ridiculous

 

[Gibbo]

More deliveries arrived, Sapphire and Powercolor in stock.

 

[Digital X]

Probably a top ten silly question but I'll shoot.

The card specs are the same, but different manufacturers have different prices?
