I'm building new gaming pc for fiancee, and decided to go 290 way, as in Europe, due to high energy costs, we dont have miner tax
The question though is a brand. Was going to get MSI gaming or xfx dd, which are at about 1500 pln ($500) but recently noticed the 290 vapor-x. It costs about 1800 ($600) according to first rewiev at kit guru, it is fast, and it runs about 5C less than cheaper 290. It is supposed to OC very high, but thats lottery and I really doubt that every card goes that high.
Is the vapor-x really worth that premium cost, or are all those just marketing hogwash, and I can safely go with 290 gaming?
