MSI R9 290X Lightning Review

[Detection]

Are the FPS results on the Heaven benchmark, Max FPS rather than Average FPS as stated?

If not, how are all the results with my card, and noticed by my brother too who has the 780Ti, heads above what we are getting ?

PLEASE test the mining performance, i can only imagine it being beastly because of the sick memory clocks.

That comic is obviously made by someone who didn't get their ass into bitcoins early enough :lol: Bitcoin has been stable for a while now

Does anyone know how much this card will cost?

It does say £529.99 in the review, and it's on pre-order at overclockers at the same price.

I think the joke was intended at Mt Gox lost 350million dollars in bitcoins, but anyways I cant wait to see what people can do with this card underwater.

So for the about the same price as a 780ti classified but not quite same performance? Maybe if it was around actual msrp I would be more interested.

Because GK110 2880 CUDA is better chip and complex than Hawaii, better for OC, about 10C colder and better performer. NVIDIA win this time. They should do that before one year when they decide to offer weaker card with more vide memory instead 2 models.
GTX785 6GB 2880 CUDA
GTX780 3GB 2304 CUDA
They should launch in same time, or under name GTX780/GTX770 only different specification.
Now we have 4 card from GK110. Classic tweaking performance.
Everything would be perfect and fine. Now many people overpriced their GTX780 and NVIDIA give us this fantastic GTX780Ti and they don't have that...
NVIDIA leave them with weaker and more expensive card than AMD.
I'm so sorry for them, I had in their position 3 months before upgrade.
