I'd love to get my hands on an R9 290 Lightning faulty.

I'd buy two of them to put in my computer just for pictures because everyone likes seeing generic mainstream cards lol.

Buy a gigabyte windforce card and wait 6 months? 

(butthurt incoming.)

 

No butt hurt from me and I own a Gigabyte GTX980 Gaming G1.

Bloody thing has been RMA'd twice, it just stops working in ANY machine, computers won't turn on with the card inserted (Was testing in 5 machines last time all had the same fault)

Send it to RMA "no fault found", and they send it back WORKING again, PCB and revision numbers different though... :P 

 

Will probably buy a Titan X or GTX980ti if they are out in July, and it won't be Gigabyte, I'll go back to ASUS or eVGA.

People who take off the coolers and replace them with waterblocks, those are who you want to find. Although, most likely they didn't buy the reference card if they're doing a custom loop. 

 

I would say if it's that important to you, just buy a real card. It's tempting to put in your rig, but show your true strength, real men can resist their urges. Don't be cheap, do it like a champ!

Why not just buy the real thing? You can pick up dead cards on eBay for cheap. They don't need to work since it's hanging on your wall and it's actually the real thing.

sorta , i was asking them if they would or could possibly provide a card for my next build , and they said they didn't have anything available rn , and what not , but having a sponsorship isn't just ask and get free things they have to have a reason to send you things like of your a known builder or if they want to commission things for ces gpu conference ext big things like that 

 

rn  don't have one with em , but i might in the future if im nice to them or can make name for myself lol 

Please quote me or tag me if your trying to talk to me , I might see it through all my other notifications ^_^
