This bad boy is apparently better than the GTX 780 and Titan. I am going to buy this car, is anyone else going to buy it? It's very cheap, about 800 dollars including BF4
What kind of specific scenario would you use a R9 290X for? A common resolution for gaming is 1080p. For that resolution a GTX 770/HD 7970 would be more than enough.
I don't recommend the R9 290X. The reference cooler is extremely loud and has a tough time keeping the card cool. All 290X's will only come with reference coolers. If you're in the budget for a R9 290X then get a GTX 780 instead. The cooling on that is significantly better and the gaming performance is pretty much equal.

Also if you want to be taken seriously then please don't go there.
If someone has the dosh to buy a 290x, then it's probably not a stretch to get a way better aftermarket cooler for the card and install it themselves.
But this guy is clearly trollin' so it's irrelevant.

Get a 770 while you can.

Whilst I agree the reference cooler is bad, you are wrong about ONLY reference models being available (like the titan)
Linus and a few others have already confirmed they are receiving non reference models soon.
Personally I am considering buying one with the Direct CU TOP/Twin Frozr once they are out.

Why? The R9 280X is $50 cheaper and faster according to a lot of benchmarks.
