Help! I've not had to look a graphics cards in a long time, but now I have an urge to change mine. I was about to order the Inno 780ti at £509 on OC, but then I started to read about the R9 and Gainwards OC'd 780ti @ £539 on OC. What do I do!! I think I'd prefer a reference design in case I decide to WC at some point, so does this rule out the Gainward (it uses a different cooling configuration it seems). The R9 only appears to be marginally slower than the 780 yet has double the RAM which I interpret to mean it will player higher resolution games or support multi-monitor gaming better. Does Nvidia need multiple cards to support 3 monitors these days, or have they something equivelent to eyefinity?

I must spend money! Help me spend !! :-)
 
Whats the difference between a 'gamer' and normal edition? Is the MSI twin frozr cooler as good as the stock (which looks damn cool in silver!). I ask because I have a 580 at the moment and it sounds like a jet about to take off when its worked hard. I'd really like to get back to a card that allows me to think whilst I play :D
 
looks like this is the card for me then! One last question, I have a Corsair 620w PSU thats not doing very much except running the card. Is this going to be enough power do you think? I read that the card requires a 6 PIN and 8 PIN which means its the same as my GTX 580 which has a TDP of 244w. I believe the 780ti is 250w so hardly any difference or am I missing something
