I want one with a better than stock cooler. I think all you can get are reference ones right now. Plus I gotta wait on my Amex Blue Cash Prefered and Chase Freedom cards to arrive in the mail. If I spend $1000 a piece on each of them I can get $350 cash back bonus. The PS4 and XB1 leave me about a grand short. This will leave me like $400 short.

From what I've gathered those are coming in November. But yeah, good idea waiting, from the reviews the stock cooler is ass.

am i the only one who loves blower style reference fans?

isn't the point of those high end single gpu cards to provide the performance in a small quiet form factor?

i thought it was for power consumption reasons.

that too

my point is if you're chasing performance per dollar, and don't care about size, heat, power, or noise, a SLI/CF setup will usually be best

don't those have compatibility issues and driver issues constantly?

they can, but it usually gets worked out eventually

 

[daze23]

I guess the 780 still overclocks better

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 need to get a cpu upgrade first as I swear it's a bottleneck in certain games I've played. what y'all think is better?? getting a amd upgrade that's as good as say an i5 joint or switching over to Intel?

Can't go wrong with that fx 8350. Loving it. Stock sink was garbage though.
