I opened this thread expecting to see NVidia being accused of something.

What a shame they spoiled it with only one DP port.

 

[joeyjojo]

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

2 months wages on a graphics card that's going to depreciate by 75% in three years isn't most peoples idea of good value.

Also £1140 = 2 months wages? That's a £9k/year job

I think he means expendable wages

Their's still time lad....

I like this card

With all those 8 pin power connectors, a dual 290X card you can give some welly to on the volts.

And you can buy 2 for the price of a Titan Z.

Who is going to be the first on the benching threads with one of these ?

Fixed

Are you buying one or two of these, Kaap?

 

[drakioned]

I don't really know who would be interested in this in some ways. It has too little RAM.

Anyone willing to shell out £1200 on a graphics card is probably also likely to shell out £500 on a 4K monitor... and then they'd be better served by a pair of 6gb GTX 780s than this (6gb GTX 780 is much cheaper than the 8gb R9s).

That is 1 beastly looking mother****er. Very nice! PowerColor are really starting to become a force and 1 of the premium AMD partners, which is good going for a brand that was for a number of years considered a budget brand.

No but I do like this card, four Hawaii chips is enough for me.



For anyone considering quadfired 290Xs these cards plus waterblocks are going to take some stopping.

 

[Yaayuh!]

I would like to give one for these a try if im honest. Still holding out for GTX790, seems like it should happen but still nothing... it's looking doubtful at this point.

 

[tayto_0]

I agree with the Kaaptain i'm buying one if i can get a block for it

 

[Zeed]

TBH i could have seen titan as good value when it came out at 900f or we it was. This card should be 900 pounds max. Then it would be a good card

 

[altrewin]

I'd love to see 8Pack get a pair of these under some LN2

 

[iB CoMpL3XiTy]

Nice looking card, much better looking than the 295X2 (AIO).

Price is alittle hefty though, you can buy 290X's for £320 new now...

 

[ICDP]

I would love to see a cheaper version with 2x 290 GPU cores. Almost similar performance for ~£250-£300 less.

I still remember paying £360 in the first few days the 4870x2 came out. Prices are stupid these days. But until people say "no" we'll continue to get shafted.
