Gigabyte's Radeon R9 290X WindForce Spotted

I hope the OEMs have a 'gentleman's agreement' to launch at a common date ...

Otherwise, it will be madness x insanity.

I doubt it, they're most likely racing right now.

I definitely want to see 3-5 different brand 290Xs tested with their versions of coolers.

However it seems GPU cooling bottleneck is not all it will take for it to stop down-clocking:

YES! the specs include an analogue resolution and it appears both dvi connectors support a dvi-vga adapter. I really hope it's not a typo or a stock image. 100hz lag free gaming for life thank you!

Is it a product launch when I can't buy it yet? It should be a PR release not an article called a LAUNCH. Maybe I could have swallowed this with the word PAPER in the title, as in PAPER LAUNCH. I don't see any in stock. Can you launch anything without selling ONE? Without selling a single card, I think it's an announcement. When you don't even give a date, it is nowhere NEAR calling it a LAUNCH. I'm confused. Not even a price either.

Want some cheese with that whine?

:lol:

I think the water/fan combo cooling solutions are the way to go. I'll wait for that.

The pixel fill rate is whats important when running multiple.monitors. the 290x is hands down the best. Get 2 in crossfire if you expect to have 120+ fps on multiple monitors.
