Posted September 25, 2013 The only cards to get 7000+ marks in firestrike are 780s and Titans with huge overclocks on LN2. Could the 290x be the new top dog if it is getting into the 7000 range stock? I can't wait to see the 3rd party benches. 280x coming in at over 6000 marks at a price point of 300$ beating 780/titans on ln2 and MSI Lightning 7970's on ln2 http://hwbot.org/benchmark/3dmark_-_fire_strike_extreme/rankings?cores=1#start=0#interval=20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 25, 2013 The R9 290x did not seem to have the standard crossfire fingers. Could crossfire not be available on this card? Somehow they are intending to do Crossfire through PCie bus and not the CFx bridge. So... If Jesus had the gold, would he buy himself out instead of waiting 3 days for the respawn?

Posted September 25, 2013 Author Somehow they are intending to do Crossfire through PCie bus and not the CFx bridge. That is interesting as the other cards will be using the traditional CF bridge.
