Non reference r9-290 

[nokturrduk84]

780

[cjeffcoatjr]

Or an ASUS R9-280X MATRIX

If you can't wait or can't afford non-reference 290, just go with the reference. Yes it runs hot, yes it runs loud, but damn does it perform well! If you aren't planning to CF it then really, it doesn't matter all that much if you can't get non-reference for whatever reason.

GTX titan

might as well since nobody else is answering

(the 7970)

[Andrew0472]

770 or a non reference 290

[mgsstar]

The R9 280X is cheaper. It is equivalent to the 7970 ghz http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202046

Gibabyte's 770 is a good Choice. But I would Advice you to wait for non reference 290.

 

Also there is alot of things to consider now when choosing a GPU.

- like are you gonna want to games stream to a shield (in light of recent new shield like devices)

- Are you interested with Mantle and its implications

- Is G-sync more important and relevant to your gaming needs. 

- Bundled games!
