| 1365322 | 2014-01-16 18:44:00 | I came across this article when looking for a video card www.tomshardware.com "The graphics card world crashed into 2014 with Radeon R9 290/290X cards topped by aftermarket heat sinks and fans, more details about the the Kaveri APU, wonky pricing, and rumors of new Nvidia graphics cards. Our recommendations change as a result." It looks like the Radeon R9 290X OC is at least $900. |

| 1365324 | 2014-01-17 01:24:00 | Personally, I wouldnt buy an AMD card, I dont like the finishing of their product. The software is flaky, they make promises of grandeur and never deliver on it. 7970 cards are STILL waiting for a frame pacing driver for eyefinity and DX9 game FCS. They claim Freesync to match GSync, but its not free and still requires other manufacturers to include standards not yet rectified. I do think AMD makes good hardware, and shame for AMD fans at present in the bitcoin mining industry has caused prices to inflate on their cards, so the price/perf benefit they had over NV has disappeared. TBH, Im still flabbergasted that AMD thought it prudent to bring create a card that runs at 94c!.... Nah, wouldnt touch one myself. |
