so I have a r9 270x, I'm in need of a upgrade. I really want a founders edition (yes I know they run hotter) I just love the look of them but there all way to expensive. any ideas? I want to spend about £250-300. should I wait for Nvidia to release a new card and buy that straight from them, should I but a founders edition cooler and replace it on a after market card (I'm not that good at computers yet so I dunno if I trust myself) thanks

Which is the card provided by nVidia for reviews and odds are that the greatest majority of owners of it are the people who reviewed it, regardless it is not a purchasable card being realistic.

Just grab a reference GTX 780 then, since that's all you care about, and within budget.

oi mate fuck off xD

 

Well you did come in asking for an FE card, and since you were so against getting any other variant i made it easier for you.
