    If this is to be believed, then the 290x is on par with Titan. That 5+1 VRM is pitiful though and I don't expect there to be a lot of overclocking headroom left. Hopefully it wont be too long after official released, that we start seeing custom PCBs with better VRMs and cooling. But i'll hold final judgement when Hilbert does his review. Do we even have an official price from AMD yet or is that $730 I keep seeing is just a guess? Because if that price is set, then that would make purchasing the 290x no brainer. :nerd:

    Yeah if this card hopefully around the 700 dollar mark, then this is a way better deal over TITAN. I can't say for sure the 780, but if you are buying a 780 and this card is faster than TITAN stock in some cases, you may as well put a little extra in and get the R 290X.

    I still want to see Hilberts review though. Current TITAN/GTX 780/GTX 690/HD 7990 owners haven't need to worry about upgrading though.
