if those speculations r correct 290x can top even the titan.. 780Ti is only in between titan and 780

ok what matters most is the performance/value/price.. again according to the early speculations 290x can top the titan and wanna sell at a lower price why dont they set it at rm3k vs titan rm3.5k but wanna set the price tag lower than the 780 rm2.5k.. can't brain this. oh well their main point is to fight 780 but just found out that 290x can even win the titan in 4k? this AMD is acting so fake but i like it

I oredi explained above, read again, and think a little bit.

i know bcoz titan/780 cannot do mass production.. huh? why AMD can make as many as they wanted for their cards. Nvidia should learn this part faster

Well.. i think nvidia is sucking money... not doing business..
Anyway.. havent been using nvidia... prefer amd since its value for money...
And i notice nvidia card is way overprice here.. to many middle man.. i guess

if 290x turn out to be real.. i will jump ship!! hahaha

They did make GK104 as many as they want.

They had a deal with OAK Ridge in upgrading Cray's Jaguar supercomputer back in 2011, they a need truckload of GK110 chip.. 18,688 to be exact, they finished it in late 2012 and GTX Titan was released early January this year? They had to milk something from all those failed Tesla K20.

Just got my R9-280X and it's super long, just fit in nice in my CM690 casing.

Toxic ker? Yeah that is one long mofo

Asus DirectCUII TOP edition, still quite long. Almost hit my hard drive bay. Maybe like 1cm more.

they shouldn't hisap from the consumers (morally) to cover their loss..

i think titan buyers r not really rationale in thinking and must be nvidia's die hard fans so they willing to pay the extraSSSs to help nvidia

Tested the performance yet?

Just imagine the Toxic version of that , just wow! Was tempted to get that if I saved up enough but researched quite a bit and found out that it is quite a long card , wouldn't fit my casing , got the wrong one I guess , HDD slots are facing left instead of outwards

Anyway , do post some benchies here!

too bad for 280x we have to oc the card ourselves.. the custom cooling ones no diff in performance vs reference cooling

the old 690 huh? not II or II Advanced where u wan remove the extra slots

No la , just some not so famous Silverstone casing. Can't even find it in their website now lol.

sorry i was asking about sasaug's casing.. hahaha

CPU bottleneck, I only have a 720BE and my board can't unlock. Asus removed core unlock feature -.- Need to get a FX8320 before I do some testing.

I tried MSI Kombust, AA x8 or no AA or any resolution, FPS is still 90+.

I try a little OC on stock voltage, now at 1120Mhz core and still ok. Not yet push it.

Yea, the very old CM690, 4 years ago I bought it.


Yeah, I didnt do cable management and quite sometime since I cleaned in. This casing is famous of sucking in fine dust.


Unpacked it in car. Had to ask my friend to fetch me to Kangaroo to pick it up myself -.- Supoose to reach yesterday.

Also ASUS just gave me a crossfire bridge, nothing else, no adapter, no cable


Ok, I googled around and people say 1160 core should be fine with stock voltage. Actually what impress me is the fan speed. Even on full load it maintain around 60-62 and fan speed was just 20+%.

anyone here playing FFXIV and installed latest catalyst drivers?

13.9 or beta 13.11 ?

Can't wait for 780Ti vs 290x benchmarks!!

Uber mode, give zero improvement. Either it still not finish or it just a switch for overclockers.




Impressive crossfire scaling but no frame timing graph.
