Wow... good to hear that!

Then next year can buy another 290X 8GB if drop price. And XFIRE IT!!!!

Crossfire oh... see 1st see 1st

You'll most probably need to upgrade your PSU in order to do that as well.

yeah, I'm planning to get A PSU also but not sure which branding to go

yea... it might sound cliche, but never be stingy with the only source of power for your rig. haha...

I know that's the next thing I'm going to change for my rig.

my choice of brand Cooler Master which i familiar with and Seasonic as well as silverstone whose reputation of breing one of the best PSU brand around

Seasonic mana?

BTW, someone has leaked the codename for R9 400 series....

Awwww yissss. Gonna WC those. Can't wait.

If i go for 4GB MSI lightning, might go for better PSU, like Seasonic X 1050

R# 300 series not come yet already spreading about 400 series~~

CM V1000 also good and cheap. Can run 290X CrossFire too

Yeah... I am using Cooler Master PSU since I first build my rig, none of them showed me bad quality, I think there is no need to doubt their reliability. Although single 290X will never stress 1000W PSU, but I'm plan to buy that in case of the future upgrades and Making sure I no need to worry about power supply.

Now I'm still choosing 290X 8GB or 290X lightning 4GB, I know Sapphire mostly using Elpida Memory chip and lightning uses Samsung chip that are well regarded at their quality.

yep fully satisfied with CM V1000.. among the cheapest reliable 1000w psu currently.. btw its actually rated as platinum..

If you able to get a cheap 290X lightning, will u choose it?

Arctic.
Where it's cold.

I think it's gonna be cooler and energy efficient..

Bro,even a good quality 600-650W PSU is enough for it.

Their low end series are crap.

Well,even if you go for the 8GB 290X,i'm sure it'll run out of processing power before hitting 8GB vRAM IINM.

How cheap?

Wongkoewei prove that AMD and nVidia is running an upgrade scam. Hd7970 able to fill more than 2gb. So obviously 290x able to fill more than 4gb.

Wait what?The HD7970 actually have more than 2GB of vRAM?
