The single version is £599.99 inc VAT and that's with 8MB, so that's £1188 for two....so it's about the same

But you can get two 4MB versions for about £740, so to me it's a no brainer because right now we dont need 8MB

The 4MB MSI Ligtning crossfire is getting too close to this card in price and just like last time with the 7970, it's a wee bit too expensive for only a few frames more..

finally........IT'S UGLY.......:D

I think you mean GB not MB :D

Also this card is 8GB total, so effectively will be 4GB useable, so much better to compare it with the 4GB cards if doing any sort of like-for-like.

You can get 290x's for under 400 quid, so it's quite a bit more if you look at it that way.
 
Just wait a year, it'll be a fraction of it's price now and still be beating the next gen cards. Just look at the 7990 and 690, they are still monster cards in comparison to this years single gpu's
 
thefogo thats what im talking about
2x290x = 800 pounds
2xwater block = 160 pounds
plus pump/reserviour combo and some 360 radiator pipes ect 150 pounds
And you got properly cooled gpus that will run cooler and clock higher for less money and looking better :D


Still there are people that will buy them cards anyway. As Gibbo have shown us :P

Yep, I got the 7990 for £340 last year. Crazy value for money. Though I don't see this getting that low :D
 
some people have to much money and because I don't have that kind of money lying around, any card at the price is just bloody ridiculous :)

GPU's have become so over inflated, it's just not funny. I mean come on, over a £1000 for 1 component, ridiculous. If my misses ever heard me spend that much money on 1 component, she'd throw my rig out the damn window. In fact, If I ever spent that much money on a GPU, I'd throw myself out the window. Crazy prices they really are.

My cards cost no more than £300, and for that money there's nothing out there at the minute that I can't play with eye candy to the limit and hold 60fps without breaking a sweat....only exception would be incredibly badly optimized games such as Watch Dogs.

Up your resolution, then you find that you end up doing less than 15 fps on Sleeping Dogs.
 
hence why I used Watch Dogs as exception.

You know the worrying thing is, these sorts of outrageous prices for gpus will probably do more to kill off PC gaming than bad pc game ports themselves.

you just edited your original post didnt ya lol ;) I kid, I kid

And I benched Sleeping Dogs in the past at average of 104fps, I'd have to use 4k screen for them to tank less than 15fps
 
I get what your saying, I just find these sky high prices for high end GPUs absolute disgusting, their price per performance is shocking. We can spend fractions of that and achieve some spectacular levels of detail at more than solid playable frames to boot.

From what i've read here one card isn't enough for 4K, so you will be spending close to £1000 regardless, because you'll need a pair of top of the range 290x that's for sure.

it's not worth worrying about the detail just yet, because these cards will be out of date next December, but you'll still be looking at 2 of the best AMD cards next year.

also and very important too, i'll need a better Mobo/ psu/RAM than i've got right now, conclusion:- BLOODY HE** :eek:

it's not the price that bothers me, because that's only 2 months wages, it's the lack of really good games to play...good shooters i mean
