You're right, if each card had a moniker that was one "step" lower, we would probably feel a lot better about the performance of each unit. But the pricing is what forced the naming scheme, I think. If we think the pricing backlash is bad right now, can you imagine it if the price was US$1200...

Why is running the 290x at 90c ridiculous? Lol. The gpu has been designed to run at that temperature. 90c does not hinder the card's performance at all. Did you even read the review or did you just skim it, saw a conclusion you did not like, and come here to complain?

Definitely troll thread. Misleading title/10

I'd go ahead and use them if you're ok with any increased noise levels that might come with it. I would recommend they be installed as intake, there really isn't a downside to it. They will provide additional cooling to your system components (your GPU will probably benefit the most as it is...

In my quest to find a sale on a Samsung 840 Pro (which failed), I decided that for this price I'd just get two of the Seagate and just raid them in hopes of matching the Samsung perf.. Ha...

Yeah, but the improvement in performance you'd see favours OCing versus buying an i7

I thought msrp was 549 for 290x?

I know waiting sucks... But you've just gotta make a choice and stick to it. If you wait, you will wait forever. There is always something good around the corner. If you waited for 780, 290x was just around the corner. If you waited for 290x, 780ti was just around the corner. If you wait...

Keep in mind the 290x is still priced at 599 or very close to that at major retail sites such as Newegg. Nvidia would still have to have lowered prices regardless of when this litecoin frenzy happened.

The Aerocool DS-Cube looks pretty sweet. It's mITX and mATX compatible

The 130 claims to have room for a 120 rad on the front. My concern is: Single fan? Or enough room for push/pull. I'm leaning more and more towards one of the Bitfenix cases. I just cant seem to find the perfect mITX case...

Dude... Where does a guy get one of those Inno3D cards??? Hello from the great white north.. *edit* it appears I'm a fool. UK exclusive, looks like?

Hey guys, I don't know how many of my Canadian brethren frequent the boards, but Newegg Canada has these beauties on sale.. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231589 DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Timing 10-12-12-31 Cas Latency 10 Voltage 1.65V Regular $184.99 35%...

Yo SonDa5, I'm really happy for you and your synthetic benchmarks, and Imma let you finish, but PhD_in_everything is one of the greatest internet trolls of all time. OF ALL TIME!

You should be good to go. [H] did a review on 4k gaming (about 8.3 million pixels vs 6.2ish for your 5760*1080) and they said they did not find a scenario where the GTX 780 Ti was hindered by its 3gb of VRAM.
