My money is on a 295x2 (or 2xreference 290X's if you're deaf :p ), epic value atm :cool:

edit - Oooooooooooo, I see that the Gigabyte 295x2 has also been dropped to £730, extra years warranty and UK-based RMA centre! Sweet :)

would rather break my Computer Gadgets than but Gigabyte again.

but 295x2 isnt a bad idea :D:D however i hate watercooling :(

this why i hate gigabyte
Gigabyte 7970 - lasted 6 months- fan failing
Gigabyte 7970 - Lasted 7 months - fan failing
Gigabyte 7970Ghz Lasted 8 months - fan Failing
Gigabyte 7990 - artfacting at 80c
Gigabyte 7990 - artfacting at 75c

Water cooling will always break weather you want it to or not Their not that Good. its just a ticking time bomb for when it goes wrong. and when it does most likely most of your pc is gone.

plus The Temperature effect it gives can be done on Air if Setup correctly Closed Loops are not all their cracked up to be..

Edit No pun intended but that was quite funny :D
 
You plan on going G-Sync in the future? Might be something else to consider as well.

I would probably take the 2 6gb 780s personally. :D

They're not actually Gigabyte Products, they've been created by AMD and re-branded to GB but the UK RMA is a bonus if you ask me.

My Powercolour 290 went for RMA 37 days ago and I've still heard nothing. You also don't need to watercool as it's done for you!
 
The 7970's were gigabyte though

also Ref or Aftermarket for 2 cards or more?

im thinking ref would be better?

realistically any setup above dual tahiti's will run UW1080p comfortably. Running that res myself and only bought the third card for insurance.
 
ok ref it is :)

i will only go 3 cards or more when i jump to in res tbh i dont think 3-4 cards are needed for 1080p :P
