Is it worth buying this baby? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202079
Or still better wait for the upcoming series??
considering that i wouldn't afford a GPU above of $350 USD for my new gaming pc.
Thanks in advance.

Well ? I just purchased one myself. I would say , yes. Solid card but i did have to sort drivers abit. Keep in mind that the next series of gpus is due out soon. This is a nice card runs quiet and cool for what it is. I havent really tried to oc it much but it appears to not be the best overclocker in comparision to my mid tier amd cards. I am only pushing multimon 1080p so maybe a 1440p perspective is needed?

Thanks for the feed, so I know the next series are just around the corner.. I believe in July..? .
Anyways do you think it would be possible to get a better GPU for lets say 300 USD tops? in the near future?
It's just that I don't want to have that "buyers remorse".
And I am planing on playing only 1080p so yeah.

oh yeah its definitely worth it, i whish those prices where that low in Europe my god.

well sorry to hear that, and thanks I just hope I don't regret my decision with the upcoming GPUs

well i think that the 390X will probably cost way more then $300,-.

Of course you could wait wenn they come out, but yeah a 290X for $270,- is realy a steal.

I plan on getting another playing the waiting game on the price. It should meet any 1080 requirements well. Heads up on the monitor connections. Get the correct cable/adaptors. I came from 280's with mini display port this has full size displayport. Some new cables may be in order.

I can personally vouch for the cooler, even if the Vapor-X cards are better the TriX cooler also does a really good job at keeping the card cool. When I was running a single GPU it could keep my R9 290 below 80°C without being really noticable in terms of noise. As for the card itself, yes. Especially for that price this is just amazing value.

It is alot of pixel pushing power. Pretty cheap. Best deal i have seen.

thanks for the heads up dude, I'll be sure to check that.

Thanks guys for the thoughts, I guess I wont have a better deal

I am willing to bet once the new 300 series gpu's come out from amd nvidia will probably drop the price of the 970 series which are already very close to 300 as it is. Unless you are playing above 1080p the 3.5 vram "issue" will have little if any real world affect on your game performance.
