ear damage without water cooling or silenced case. While they often say 30-50% faster, this mainly only affects +4k resolutions. On normal resolutions of 1080p it seems to be only at rates of 5-20% similar to a dual 980/295x -> of course there is the micro lag with multiple gpu's. Time to wait and see what the providers make of it. I'm a little interested on how KFA2 will perform in case they bring one out. In any way I still run +60 fps on all up to date games at 1080p 16:10 with the "old" sapphire 290 Vapor-X, which I got a year ago for ~350 and still costs about 300.
Im running a Radeon HD 5800 series, it still plays everything at max settings while watching movies on the other screen. I paid $800 for the thing a few years ago and it would take a $500 card to better its performance. If you buy a high end videocard, it will usually last longer than your pc. This card was not babied, it crunched bitcoins 24/7 for a year and a half running at max temp and speed. The new R9's are looking good, might have to make room in the pc for one SAPPHIRE 100360SR Radeon R9 295x2 8GB 1024-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Newegg.com
