for me no.
1. your resolution is 1080p only. an OC 290 will be sufficient.
2. drop down MSAA to get higher FPS.
3. unless you got extra $$ don't mind to go. but CF290 for 1080p is very wasteful. rather get dell u2713hm or above than the extra gpu.
4. yes, CF now as you get 1440p monitor or above

depends. if eyefinity, the bezel muz be very thin thin thin. else, for me its a blowoff. or get a Curve UHD monitor .
if 1440p unable to satisfy you, there's still 1600p. although the price is kinda but cheaper than 4k atm or so.

so its your RIG that APES need to do OT yesterday night
TitanFall theme?
I'm sure these sales person did not knew much about 295X power requirement unless they dwell into it.
the Samsung 4k TN is a great start to embrace 4k earlier. Jayacom already got display set for this samsung monitor? would love to see it in person.

not sure about the orange color, but from the pic, can't really say as it kinda too bright as you said.
but the overall theme is juz
if you don't mind, what is your work or things that require you to build such powerful pc?
no offense as i saw you are the 1 or the few that's been getting/building the niche item on gpu. (which is impressive)

as it stands now, current gpu will need to CF/SLI to support 4k. will the next gen we'll see single gpu to power up 4k at maximum graphic settings? or at 20nm? (60 or 120 fps)

between this and RC1, any different? from guru thread. there's 2, wonder how much is the impact

go get the 280X sapp Tri-X. alot of user selling it around <Rm1k depends on the other brand.
its powerful enough to drive most game on max setting for 1080p.

laa. means your veno-x kenot withstand dy. go delid the proc

yes safe. its very safe. but what is the vrm temp? also furmark is a stressing software until your gpu die. so in normal circumstances, you'll hardly hit that constant temp. (unless u run furmark 24/7/365 )

my 7870xt almost hit 100C on gpu and 110 on VRM and yet its still very safe below the max temp.
**this temp is impossible to hit on gaming.

yes. VRM temp > GPU temp. n sometimes VRM temp may be way higher than GPU temp alot. monitoring it is important as well as mostly VRM temp will hit 125C first than the GPU temp.

GPU-Z is able to show both GPU and VRM temp.
normally, i wont go and do Furmark as it stress the hell out of d gpu alot.

the new vapor-x fan is so freaking quiet
i need to crank up my speaker volume to 58 to make it audible.

sold. now waiting to get another gc.

In Deciding process. that Vapor-X is sexy.
waiting for review to see how good the vapor-x can OC.

on the powercolor pcs+, the only downturn of it is the 'Performance/Uber' mode in which the fan noise is juz a little under 50 dba, which is extremely loud.
the Quiet mode is superb with its noise lvl, but not the uber mode sadly.

juz notice you are using zotac 780ti amp as well. may i know how is the temp, fan noise and OC performance?

<Rm2.5k. hence aiming the Zotac ti amp. but still another 3 weeks to go before getting 1.
Ghz Edition is the beast iinm, in our shore.
at this price point, for me going either 780ti or 290x is not wrong, but the thing to choose is, which Tech do you/I wan to go.
sadly we can't get the best of both world in 1 rig. else, i would love to marry 780ti with 290x.
nvidia (780ti)- Shadowplay, shield, Better frame-pacing (apply to single gpu?), TXAA (got a forumer told me that it blur out sucks iinm), Physx (recent game did not use this special effect?), best single gaming gpu for my budget.
amd (r290x) - mantle, tress fx ,RadeonPro+Sweetfx (this is insanely a must for SP game), cheaper and performance is not losing out much to the above, <- the only pros i'm able to figure out.

already sold d 7970, hence getting a new card. lol. require physical strength.
after taking out d 7970, i only realize how quiet my PC has been.

PowerColor R9 290X Devil 13 Dual Core sneak pictures!!!

Don't worry, this should be poisonless to most ppl here. its Dual core = 295X2.
hence, not many ppl will be able to afford or will go for it. its a niche market for enthusiast.

i''m not sure about air cooler. Since AMD ref is with watercooler, what will be the pricing for the Air cooler? and how is the temp?
i think its better to go for the ref 295X2 than air cooler for this monster.

Will we get the vapor-x version for r290x? saw the 8gb is an exclusive to OC UK.

that is damn sad. the i-Fan is great

sama jer. should say 2 pieces of 290X instead of dual 290x = 295X2
