Returning GTX 970
hey guys! I bought a EVGA GTX 970 last month and have until today to return it. I decided might as well, and buy something else. I just need some advice on what i should buy to replace it. I am currently running 27 inch 1440p monitor and plan on adding a second possibly in the spring. I play games such as shadows of mordor, skyrim, LOL, etc, and want to keep my options open for any new games coming out this year and the next. Any recommendations?
R9 290x is the way to go if you're returning it. Email AMD Roy and you might get a discount on a 290x.

I'm not sure what the Canadian promotion is (or if there even is one), but in the US I got offered 10% off an XFX Double Dissipation R9 290x plus a free XFX baseball cap from newegg. With the discount it would have come to $285US after rebate for their 290x, which is a pretty nice price (though I would have bought the $300 MSI Lightning R9 290x had I returned the 970). I opted to just stick with my GTX 970 since the problem didn't look too bad from reviews done the last couple of days explicitly targeting that last 0.5GB of memory. But if you're returning your 970 check to see if AMD is offering anything to you to switch.
