Wait , free Sapphire cooler? Does that mean reference cooler or what? Oh and btw , did I miss some news? Since many have claimed that there will be custom cooler by the 1st and 2nd month , I thought AMD have said that 290x won't be having any custom cooler ?

We’re pushing the limits with Star Citizen, and this commercial is our best example yet. It’s rendered 100% in-engine in real time at 4k resolution. We scale everything for the super high resolutions that will be the basis of tomorrow’s gaming experience; our assets are designed with high polycounts instead of having details baked into their textures. That’s a big part of why NVIDIA and AMD have been demoing Star Citizen at 4k! The next generation of CPUs and GPUs will make this kind of experience possible in gameplay, and we are building Star Citizen to be ready. With the Hornet commercial, we wanted to give our backers an early look. If you have a 4k-compatible monitor, select “Original” from the video settings on YouTube (or download the 4k file directly here. ) If you don’t, 1080p is highly recommended.

Sauce: INTRODUCING THE HORNET LINE FROM ANVIL AEROSPACE

I wonder if one 290x is sufficient to play this maxed out at 1080p/1440p.

Sorry if i was slowpoke and i know they already change price, Pre-order price is RM2399.(which means retail price still RM2799)

Greed has taken over i guess...        

Hmm...how much is 290X gonna be? It says $549 USD...so around 1.5k or max 2k when it reaches here?

Yes to 1080p without MSAA. But 1440p isn't possible at 60fps yet, not at least until (hopefully) Mantle is baked into the game.

Looks like it comes with BF4... (according to the box)
Considering you will get free CPU cooler and BF4...  I think the price is pretty fine...

fuuh

i would like to know why amd dont wanna let others custom cool the 290x?

Some of you have expressed concern over the GPU running at 95C. Be assured, that 95C is a perfectly safe temperature at which the GPU can operate for its entire life. There is no technical reason to reduce the target temperature below 95C. However, like all aspects of PowerTune, this is completely within the control of the end user. If you would rather have you GPU operate at a lower temperature, such as 85C or 73C, we strongly encourage you to customize it to your preference and write about it in your review. This is, after all, the reason that we design products with this level of flexibility.

they will let them but maybe a month or 2 after launch date.
Problem is that, it will throttle down and run on 800+mhz core clock. Still quite fast though.
Aku kata post some benchies!
Congratz on your purchased and hope it will dive underwater.
