Source?  hmm.gif

But I would like to see better games...  I think games these days are prioritizing too much on graphics, instead of gameplay and technical issues. sweat.gif

A million agree!!! many games i have played actually feel much interesting on their older version, like C&C tiberian series, I like Tiberium wars better than crappy latest end story Tiberium Twilight. Red Alert 2 was the 1st ever game I played, That feeling was soooo great. Many franchises tend to keep similar game play as their predecessors, Like COD series, I actually do not see any difference in gameplay since the first modern warfare when i start played this series, what different just the graphic and so called story (FPS got story???) whistling.gif whistling.gif

FPS got story...  I mean old ones like CoD 1, which is one of the best FPS I used to play... tongue.gif

BTW, AMD is having a good time with disgruntled 970 owners... whistling.gif

Now they can relieve a bit, but they still got lots more to do as AMD financial situation are no where comparable with Nvidia and Intel. sad.gif sad.gif sad.gif sad.gif

An unexpected choice, originally wanted to go for MSI lightning 290X but unfortunately, it was dead on arrival, and that particular Lightning was the last in stock. So at last I had to take ASUS ROG R9 290X Matrix Platinum instead. Hopefully it will not fail me.

Better buy 8gb if 1600. Not sure why you bought Asus. :star:

No 8GB at that particular shop, if u want to get a refund, they max only can gimme back 75% of the value. So I dun think i have more choice.

That shop's business ethic is very bad, obviously it was not your fault, if they can't provide replacement should just refund.

I suggest test the card extensively since 290x DCU2 cooler don't have good reputation with Hawaii chip. No heatsinks on the Vram too iirc.

Yes, I have heard of that. I have tested this card with some of my favourite games (Watch dogs, COD AW, World of tanks etc), so far so good.

PS: never let it went through stressing software like furmark tho
