The 290x performs better and uses more power and puts out more heat.

That depends if you want to spend an extra $100+ for 10 more fps. Personal choice really.

Only if you can afford it.

Yes, the X makes it go faster.

Just like having LED's in your case gives the system extra performance as well.

 

I mean everyone knows that. Right?

YES THIS ^ OMG HAHAHA. I was lucky to get a 290x at $690SGD

It's not Just look at the benchmarks, then compare the prices of the 290 vs 290x in your area.

If you can afford the 290x, definitely get it over the 290. Especially since you can't get the new nvidia cards at a good price any time soon in your area.

Every vendor in the shopping area told me that 290 will never be available again in my country D: so i had to get the 290x D:
