Why pick a side when you can pick both?

Or if you can choose to space the cards out if you have a larger mobo. No more CF connector allows you to do that.

Those who wish 290X selling at reasonable price need to wait...

WC is more high end than a Titan Cost if really indulge into this hobby  but honestly, i think if we limit the temp of R9 290X using softwares, shouldnt be any problem unless it limits the power draw as well which then results in drop in perf  |

I was planning to but what hold me back is that i have 4 way sli mobo and R290X u cannot gap between them so what i meant is that if u CF than u have to use PCIE 1st and and 2nd slot and u cannot use 3rd slot it will not detect what so ever.This post has been edited by Desprado: Oct 25 2013, 10:15 PM |

Is this the restriction of the mobo or CF in general? Not very familar with CF architecture, been on the green side for a while already. |
