Are they really that bad? I heard they can get a little hot but I would have thought they'd have sorted all this stuttering out by now, NVidia owner here and have been for years so not had much experience with AMD cards. :D

I just went SLI for the first time with 670's. Apart from the increased heat and noise over just using one of them ( top card can get up to 75 degrees whilst bottom card never gets above about 68, though still much cooler and quiter than my old GTX 480 :D), i havent noticed anything else untoward. I was interested to see what this "micro stutter" thing is but i have been playing Crysis 3 on maximum setting for hours and not noticed it at all.
 
I'm guessing where the 7770 currently sits

R9 290X = Hawaii XT
R9 290 = Hawaii Pro

R8 280X = 7970
R8 280 = 7950

R7 270 = 7870 / XT
R7 260 = 7850 / 70

The names are all over the place, its hard to work out.

Yeah looks about right,

R9 290X Hawaii XT VS Nvidia Titan
R9 290 Hawaii Pro VS GTX 780

R8 280X VS GTX 770
R8 280 VS GTX 760

R7 270
VS GTX XXX
R7 260 VS GTX XXX

They definitely make some noise but not helicopter/cruise missile noise more of a hairdryer on low speed, I jumped on 2 7990s but I do likes me peace n quiet so they will be going underwater. I have been an NVidia owner for years but just wanted a change :)
 
I'm guessing where the 7850 currently sits, yeah.

R8 280X = 7970
R8 280 = 7950

R7 270 = 7870 / XT
R7 260 = 7850 / 70

AMD is likely to position the new line up a bit differently.
Once the smoke clears we can see the slides in a few hours how this will work out ;)

There is also a reason why every movie or TV show have red eyes.
The power within them those red red eyes (insanity excluded)
This is for Dave Bauman

Are you all mad? will it be a titan beater? if it turns out to be a titan beater? will it be under £500 or not?, bargain if it beats titan and comes in at under £500......

well dudes, this card kicks titan, 780's arse and will be faster than 290x it is under £500 now but according to Gibbo it will go £600-£700 after 290x release.

If I was looking to buy now I wouldn't be waiting for jack **** I'd have a 7990 ordered now, knowing it's the fastest mother ****** currently orbiting the sun. :D:D ;)

I guess that's someone like me was going to order a 7990 on Monday, just wanted to see what's coming out today
