Lol don't count on it

Was wondering if there was something wrong with the cooler on their sample but looks like on that card its intentionally set to hold at a certain temperature level. The WF cooler is certainly capable of bringing even a 290X down to below 70C gaming temps.

I don't see why they would. The 780 is well priced compared to non-reference 290s, and the 780ti is still the single-card performance king.

 

[fordypaul]

Purely as they can sell more!

 

[RogerMesenseless]

Do want.

Can I run 2 X 290Xs off a 850W PSU?

If it's a good quality psu then you should be fine.

Why would it? It's priced in between the GTX780 Windforce and the GTX780Ti Windforce which is where it's performance lies.

I mean it would be nice if Nvidia did drop prices (actually no it wouldn't because it would hurt my 780's resale value) but I don't see it happening without reason.
