P.S. They have a $25 rebate, no doubt an incentive from AMD in the US, unfortunately not something operated here in the UK/Europe.

On a positive note, OcUK is cheaper on 7970's compared to the USA:-

So we don't always get the rough end of the stick.

Yeah it's the rebate that makes them cheaper. Sucks to not get one over here

So sandy-bridge can make you smug?

What do I get for still rocking an X58 system here?

Will the 7990 fit? I've seen others here do it in a Mini ITX system. I think i did anyway, or maybe i just made that up.

Nope...you didn't

Great looking rig, great looking card! :cool:

Does it cook jacket potatoes.

I think it's cute

Those two 80mm exhausts should do a decent enough job of removing the heat, though it'd be nice to have another one at the top.

gpuerrilla · 27 Sep 2013 at 19:50

Its more efficient at cooking than a microwave!

Gregster · 27 Sep 2013 at 19:53

And also turns into a handy slicer for vegetables.

jrodga2k5 · 27 Sep 2013 at 19:54

Oh come off it guys....

Petey is actually correct...the temps sit around 39 Idle and 80 load, the 2x80mm fans actually do a pretty good job, the side of the case is vented so the card is taking in plenty of cool air...so not quite a Microwave

That 7990 probably runs cooler than my old GTX480 did within a Shuttle Mini-ITX. Never had any probs with the 480, but now I have tinnitus.

AMD GPU14 - We check out Dirt3 being played on three 4K

showing it off running across three 4k resolution monitors from a pair of AMD Radeon R9 290X GPUs in Crossfire mode is pretty sweet. http://www.tweaktown.com

I own my own little pc shop in SA, I have a good client base, nothing like the big companies but since the mantle news dropped I've gotten 30 back orders for R9 290X BF4 editions.
To put that into perspective, when the Titan launched I had 6 back orders. That's a big difference.

A close friend of mine owns the largest online shop in SA and he has confirmed the exact same thing, huge amount of back orders, more than we've ever seen with anything from AMD.

Has he forgotten that Titan was about 80% more expensive?
