AMD Radeon R9-290X tested and reviewed

its about go

780/780 Ti

rumors 780 Ti is slotting in at $649 like 780

780 dropping between 770/780 Ti pricing

 

Fixed.

Btw I did the math in my head earlier.... just double checked with a calculator and turns out I was wrong after all. We actually pay $7.62 a gallon. ($2.31/L).
But hey it's not all bad - luckily for me my 3.0R Subaru Legacy was stolen so at least I don't have to worry about petrol prices anymore. :

Still wanna move?

 

Yeah man, if you look at your wages it's still a lot cheaper

On a minimum wage you can almost get 2 gallons. We get one you pay half the price

 

Yeah I agree it is expensive in the UK.

However cars are cheap over there like Jags etc....
Did u see Top Gear the other week where Jeremy bought an 8yo CLK Mercedes for around $6000 (GBP obviously)...oh and did I mention xtc sells for like $45 here vs $4 in UK? So I hear lol.....


My ex brother in law who is Welsh told me he would never ever go back to there after living in NZ.

 

Btw you got that 7950 yet?

 

Is that NZD (i.e. ~1,39 €)? If so that's not too bad at all. We ahve to pay ~1,65 €/L for 98E and about 0,10 € less for 95E/95E10. Diesel is around 1,50 €.

 

coming on monday, so I can set it all up before bf4 goes live on tuesday I hope it doesn't give me headaches.

 

Must have sold quite a few of the 290s, as theres a storm warning for the UK tom and Monday, 80+ mph winds, everyone will be testing their newly bought 290s

 

Diesel is more expensive in the UK, weird aye?

 

Petro is about $3.20/g and diesel is about $3.90/g right now in Florida it's probably a dollar more in the norther states and California (higher gas taxes and further from the fuel processing facilities).

 

regular gas is around 3.14 a gallon in nj

 

so cheap, you guys are lucky.

 

Watch the off topic chat guys.

 

Sometime in November now for the custom cooled, according to videocard z.

 

I guess they heard that collective groan over the temps. Bring on the reviews.

 

OMG its more expensive then in Israel, right now it goes for 878USD (tax included)
And its considered cheap, right now cheaper then 780 by a large margin

 

My scores

Do these seem correct? (well, the CFX rather than the single!)

looks good to me, the last bench is the only relavent one tbh, the first one I can run on my phone

 

Is your PF disabled?
If it is you might wanna turn it on or buy some more ram so BF4 doesn't crash running CF. Frostbite seems to allocates itself virtual memory based on vram, the more you have the more it steals.

At least that's my guess based on a few comments I read and from owning BF3. I don't really care enough to investigate further....lol
