eventually you probably will be right, but I figure you will have easily enough time until at minimum the R9 3xx and GTX 9xx are out to worry about it.

not a bad choice, 570 is a good card, and if you can push it through 3 generations, nothing wrong with that

peasant

GTX 760 is good for the money, especially at 1080p, though I would definitely go with a 7970GHZ or an R9 280x (be willing to overclock, as these are very easy to do so and show great results)

amusing that this is a card that currently no enthusiast can recommend

there is your fanboy showing, the 780ti is closer to titan than 290x, and I'm not gaming at 4k, im gaming at 5760 x 1080, which shows the same gains with the new architecture. And you are the one that assumed I was getting reference, not my fault you jump to conclusions.

a 690 is the same thing as buying two cards though, as its an SLI on a single board type of card

based on the timing for AIB customized cards I will be waiting until after the 780ti anyway, however at 699.99 the 780ti isn't much of an option, as I need to be running 2 or 3 cards for my setup. (eyefinity/surround)

I did specify (somewhere) to wait for AIB partner coolers

I never said I was ordering them now, I am waiting for AIB partner coolers, and they are 20-40% faster @4k resolution, as I stated.

I really don't want to argue with a clear fanboy, but fuck it here goes

most reviewers are just saying to wait for new coolers from AIB partners

oh geez, I was legitimately considering 780s after the price drop and with the free games, but I love 5760 x 1080 and AMD does a damn good job at getting things running there. I think I will wait and get some 290x's

Crossfire scaling and frame times for 290x versus 780 SLI is far and away in AMDs favor, and even beyond that driver compatibility favors AMD considering blackouts when launching games as well as windows being laggy in Nvidia surround but solid on AMD

crossfire scaling and frame times are far and away better on 290x versus titan or 780. Its not even close, crossfire is just insanely better

do yourself a favor and go read tomshardware or hardocp for a recommendation, after the abomination that was the keyboard voting I wouldn't recommend trusting the results here

go read hardocp's crossfire review of the 290x, their drivers are currently leaps and bounds above NVidias, better performance in every game with LESS MICROSTUTTER, and also better compatibility with displays, on a 4k display they weer having issues getting black screens on Nvidia cards requiring multiple force closes…

not sure if he means the same thing as I do, but when I say true 60 FPS im talking about no scaling back of graphics in order to compensate when FPS is dropping

they said they tried to get serkis and he wasn't available

but they never said it wouldn't work like that, they just said they cannot guarantee it, to which my response is "no shit"
