Thanks for ur suggestion fam...I went wit the Sapphire Toxic 280x..shyt is supposed to be a beast..Putting the order in for the 290X brehs
Can't beat that price per dollar. Mantle API, TrueAudio.
Will wait to see the non-reference cards and will possible add an after-market cooler (first time that I will be doing that).
AMD

I'll likely upgrade to that new AMD GPU. Hard to beat that performace for such a low price. Altough my current GPU (Nvidia 680) is still amazing.

I'd wait until we see the non reference cards. They will probably have better coolers. At least I hope.

Hell yea..they said its hands down the best 280x...only one close is the Asus Matrix...but this sapphire 280x could hang in with a 780..Good card from what I read.
Feasting on AMD this holiday
Anybody game on big HDTVs with their PC? (like 50 to 70inches)
I don't know when I'll do it, but I'm thinking about throwing my PC that I put together downstairs in the mancave with my other consoles.
Just have to see if I want to just get a laptop for photo editing stuff or build another PC for the office.

They said it's within sniffing distance of a reference 780..the 780 is faster at stock..but the price difference between the 2 cards makes up for the extra speed of the 780...it's def faster than the 770 tho..and at that price point it's bugged out to get a card that sits between a 770 and 780..

I game on my 50" inch panosonic in my living room with big picture mode and xbox controller. works pretty well since i can launch steam from xbmc. if i wanna play RTS's i can use the laptop. only problem ive found is that in one game (deus ex human revolution) the text is too small.. but i might be missing some setting i have to fix.

I do. It's great for everything except FPS, RTS.
i havent tried it yet but why is it bad for FPS?
My PC is hooked up in my bedroom to my 39inch 1080p Toshiba TV. Games look phenomenal on it but on a monitor games would look much better.Anybody game on big HDTVs with their PC? (like 50 to 70inches)
