My R9 290 Tri-X OC has just given up the ghost (2 months past warranty grr). I'm looking for something around the £250-£300 pound mark similar in performance if possible. Suggestions please!
 
Think i would go for a nano, its costs more(~£350) but it would be a good upgrade.

Edit:
Looks like the price has gone back up on the nano's so a 390 would be better value.

I've had a Sapphire card replaced by Sapphire 5 months past the warranty, just wrote them a polite e-mail, and explained that I was disappointed, and would consider other brands, with longer warranties such as EVGA in future. :)

That's a bit of an odd statement, considering that Sapphire only does AMD card, and EVGA only does Nvidia card :D

It was with reference to the warranty they offer, I don't give two hoots which brand of GPU I have, unlike a lot of people I only require it to work well, and be good quality.
