Was looking into picking up a evga 780Ti and saw the MSi 780Ti gaming is $629.99 with a $30 rebate on Newegg. That is $100 and $130 after the rebate cheaper. Has the MSi always been this much cheaper than any other 780ti? Hard to justify buying the evga SC after seeing this.
 
Wow, that's a great price! Makes me want to ditch my regular 780 for one of these. The MSI GAMING cards just have the caveat that you need to change the overclock profile every time you restart your computer, since the default clocks on the consumer version are set to the more conservative "Gaming" mode.
For the review sample that we received for the MSI Radeon R9 290X GAMING 4G, the default clocks configured on the card were for "OC" mode. This is the same default configuration that was used on our prior MSI GAMING series card evaluation for the GeForce GTX 780 Ti which we accepted at face value during the course of the evaluation. After we published the evaluation, several of our readers that had purchased the cards were reporting that their default clocks were set to GAMING mode rather than OC mode and were wondering why there was a difference between the cards that all reviewers received and those that were shipping in the retail channel. We reached out to MSI about the difference and it confirmed that the cards sent to the media were different than those shipped to the retail channel. When we started the evaluation of the MSI Radeon R9 290X GAMING 4G, we re-confirmed that the card we received was set to "OC" mode clocks while the ones being shipped to the retail channel were set to "GAMING" mode clocks.
