I still think the XFX DD card is sexier, but yeah i would go with the Tri-X

Seems to be a theme that the good looking cards don't perform that well, the same went for the Asus DirectCu2 which looked amazing but performed horribly.

How much does the performance vary between them? A few frames?

Tea, Metal, and poorly written code.

The sapphire call vapor x 290 looks great and performed the best of everything

Just something I noticed when watching yoyr channel.

Not stating that all gpu fans have different maximum rpms and that their independant speed percentage values are not the same...46% fan speed isn't equal rpms across the series for example.

Other than that observation. I've enjoyed your content @Kevmo7 and look forward to more.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
