You should read the edited message on the refund advice on the geforce forum. Too bad I didn't take a screenshot of the original message. The mod also edited all quoted message from mod too.

Well, it's time to say; suck to be Nvidia owner. LOL. Now now, I'm just kidding & just returning the joke.

Didn't try because version number is the same with omega driver.

Guess its justifiable for those who actually bought the GTX 980 not to have a handicapped card

yeah and it's the fastest single gpu if oced.

lolol your sig,

Did you wrote that?

i got confused by one gtx 760 rog mars before lol i thought 760 don't have sli

haha... R9 290X 4GB Trix/Vaporx <-- Truly are 4GB !

Bit silly to ask here I guess but how does the sapphire trix 290x compare to the 970? Minus the 4gb bullshit. I'm considering asking etech if they're willing to let me swap my unopened 970 (which I bought from them) for a Sapphire Trix 290x

in term of performance, 290x is slightly better.. for me in real world experience, all current top-end cards like 290,290x,780,780ti,970,980 will give you same range of performance and gaming experience.. but its still undeniable bigger GPU memory size will give you better flexibility and versatility in gaming world and less potential of having stuttering.

which one is preferable between asus r9 290 (warranty 2y 5m left) and sapphire r9 290 (warranty 1y 5m left)?

i got an offer at RM700.

appreciate any views, thanks

If custom cooler then Sapphire is better. The only problem Sapphire have is rattling sound, but my card don't have it.

R9 290X is getting farther away from R9 290 in recent game titles

i think i know where u want to buy

get the vaporx, its better cooling

dont care just BUY BUY BUY

both are reference card, got diff?

Never mind. Etech wont exchange. haih shame. Thank you anyway. How is the noise for it anyway?

just grab the one with longest warranty then

since theyre both on same reference coolers

reference cooler really loud, you sure can tahan?

LOL!I still remember this video,someone posted it on the forum.
