im sure you can mount 2 unit of 120mm rads on the front intake of your case.. its gonna looks badass

look how badass this setup...

non-reference is fine provided the hot air is nicely directed away instead of being recycled

Not at current price. The R9-290 at RM1.1k is the better choice for me right now.

lel i just pulled the trigger with the king of haswell refresh now waiting what 390X will be in stores 2 hit back the greenery yo

waiting my new gc to arrive for next gc
cant get used to 1080p on 27" >.<

eh not into Hybrid water cooling.. "beauty eye of beholder"

I smell counter attacking from both Green and Red camp..

If the rumour about GM200 were true, it will destroyed the "380x".

GM200 which could possibly be GTX Titan II,am i right? Well,not a "suitable" comparison TBH,since the Titans are also a workstation GPU..
Then AMD will hit back with R9 395X2.

Last time it's overkill to get OCed CPU for gaming, i5 4440 is enough.

Now i5 4440 is the bottleneck on some newer games
i5 4690k and i7 4790k has advantage now

It is not a true workstation GPU. It doesn't have ECC memory and I don't think it supports those pro applications that needed Quadros.

Titan II is more like for semi-pro uses. Only for CUDA.

Kinda sucks since if the application supports OpenCL, then the much cheaper HD7970 and 290 series is better
AMD never gimped the double precision compute performance too much for the gaming cards.

Knowing how Nvidia is so efficient in milking their customer making profits, they surely will make a normal "consumer" version of the rumored Titan II from failed Titan.

Well,soon there will be quad core with no HT i3s and quad core with HT i5s hopefully.

I see,didn't know true workstation GPU use ECC memory..

Those kind of work is only suitable for the AMD FirePro cards,right?

Titan U(nderdog)? Can't wait till the competition heats up when AMD release the 3xx series.

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.

How much is that?

need to add a few hundred, RM1600

How the card performance? Have u test with any game? Eg Dying Light

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

8GB is the Vapor-X version?

All because next gen console port more bigger in sizes and developers refuse 2 compress them and leave the 8gb of unnecessary memory hogging bottleneck your puny value 4 money system

Once jump i7 like me i not turning back i5 ever again

but need to pair with faster GPU too, cos GPU bottlenecks first
