Really? At £410 Hexus shows the windforce 780 to be faster than Titan, sounds to me like spending £450 on a 290x would be very ill advised given this surely?

Oh boy, this is more than I expected, it is now a no brainer!
Two quick questions:
Are all the 780 reference cooler models pretty much the same, or is their a preferred choice?
How long does the games bundle last, I.E. how long do I have to make up my mind before throwing money at the screen?

Anyone if I can check what GPUs the xspc raystorm fits I want to buy a 780 today please help I know it was said MSI take full covers just can't find if the xspc is one of them
All I'm saying is that 290X is faster.
The stock is melting pretty nicely as I can see
Crazy to watch.
It comes more aggressively clocked out the box, nearly all reviewers have said that.
Ah ok. It's frozen on processing payment rather annoyingly. Probably lots of orders.

The 6 years ago £400-£500 card (8800GTX) in its time is a far better card for its time than the current £400-£500 cards for today (100% faster than previous gen top card vs 30-40% faster than previous gen top card)

Yes due to it being harder to get more from each chip nowadays, the prices aren't going to go down though are they, especially not the way the economy has went over the last 8 years...

The 780 is miles faster than a 290X.

if i was to order 2 lots of video cards, would that mean i would get 2 lots of the games?
or would i need to seperate the order into 2 orders

When you compare the 290X to the MSI Gaming card or the Gigabyte OC, the 290X loses in the games tested and by quite a margin.

You can clearly see that the OC 780's are comfortably beating the 290X. No one with a brain would think AMD are dead or finished but it is good to see some healthy competition.
You'd get 2 lots.

But 780 OC vs reference card at reference clocks on launch drivers?
Stock reference vs OC...
As said earlier the 290X comes clocked more aggressively than the stock 780's.
