    the only issue I have is that folks are unable to praise amd without poo pooing NVidia in same breath, aren't you guys sick of amd vs NVidia? I know I am.

    Well, obviously 290 is going to cost less. It has much crappier cooler to cut costs. Originally it wasn't aimed to run at those speeds.

    @SLI-756
    Maybe you should have just let the physx part out of it and just say game bundle instead. PhysX is sore subject for many and considering the heated talks in other threads regarding it... I hope that what you said doesn't mean the other thing that it might mean though. :banana:

    when discussing amd /NVidia for me PhysX is the only thing that really sets them apart, so if one amd card scores equal to NVidia there's always that PhysX to take into consideration.
    just my thoughts.

    amd vs NVidia what else?

    go away then. it's you who came into a 290 thread and then posted these



    If you're sick of AMD vs Nvidia, don't come into a 290 thread and talk about physx. GTFO with that chat. Also, you might not realize, but the pricing of both 290 and 780 is different in different countries so if someone calls it a rip off, it's based on what they see on their retailer's websites.

    Guys, either get back on topic or get out of these forums. I'm done baby sitting.

    It's not a rip off, it's called free market capitalism.
