    Nice one! Can't wait to see Hilbert's reviews on this. Too bad I just got my Sapphire 290. 95 degrees while gaming on this card just kills it. I can keep it below 70 while gaming in this tropical country, but with really bad noise. Was thinking of getting my 290 flashed to 290x, but I may have to liquid cool it first. With temp and noise aside, really lovin my 290. Thanks to Hilberts reviews on these cards, I've made the right choice.

    Asus has the big money to always get the DCII out first to market that is key to sales maybe on this card. Most times its the same card design layout and just different chips and those are the big keys to being first.
    proven design
