Bought a new card: Sapphire AMD R9 290 TRI-X OC Graphics Card

Originally I had planned on getting another 7970 to crossfire with my current one but the prices were crazy so I thought.. fuck it and went for a 290

Should arrive in a week so I am pretty psyched.

... i cant really explain it but the styling on this card is as close to a lump of pcb and metal with colors can get to being 'sexy'

The card was £370 (at the point of which I purchased), has now shot up to £400 so I would imagine the seller has jumped on the bandwagon and is now price gouging like others :(

Good choice, that tri-x cooler is super sexy. I'd sell the 7970 and see how much you can get out of it :)

Don't sell the 7970 keep it in ur rig and mine Dogecoins with it 24/7 then when u sleep mine with both. Then you can go to the moon with your fellow shibes.

Nah, wont be doing any mining at all

rather oddly I use my graphics cards to display actual graphics... :P

In all likelyhood I will just give the 7970 to my brother.

now installed, just getting the latest beta drivers on here and then going to benchmark the shite out of this card

congrats bro
