Sapphire R9290 tri-x oc or a Palit gtx 970 reference card.

 

For maximum gaming experience

 

I have no regard for power consumption and temps.

the gtx 970 beats the crap out of the 290 the 290x and 390 are the ones equivalent to the gtx 970

[pocholo01]

the gtx 970 beats the crap out of the 290 the 290x and 390 are the ones equivalent to the gtx 970

Beats the crap out of 290x? um nooooo. 290x is actually a little bit faster in most games. But considering how much more efficient the 970 is and the fact it's a 290. I would say go for the 970.

Since when does a 970 beat the crap out of 290x? Show me the benchmarks please?

Oddly I remember that being written differently. But then again I don't know what I am talking about.

well I didn't look at the images so I thought the extra x was a typo and he was talking about the 290 trix not the 290x trix so I am also at fault
