hi guys i have question

 

i wont be able to buy the new R9-290X when it comes out i will have to wait for february should i wait for Maxwell or just get the 290X?  

 

(elric said nVidia connected him and said they have a dual-gpu gk110 coming soon do you guys think it will hit the market around february?)

He is the hero this forum deserves but not the one it needs right now.So we'll hunt him because he can take it because he is not our hero he is a silent guardian

Well since you can't buy anything as of now, why not?

Wait to see how each does. Without a real world benchmark, everything they say is bullshit.

Just wait until you have money and pick a best card you can get, we can't tell you if Maxwell (AKA Kepler v3.0) beats the 290X and what price tag will NVidia come with. Wait and see.

when it comes to pc tech if you wait for the next thing you will never buy anything since something is always right around the corner. pull the trigger when you can and milk what you got.

İ wouldnt have wait if i had the chance to buy R-290x when it came out
