Don't overclock yet! Just check if the card is fully operational at stock with some benchmarks. Once it's fully tested. Play a bit. THEN PUSH THAT MOTHA F***KA TO THA LIMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile here in the Netherlands, we are still waiting for aftermarket 290 prices...

Windforce is currently the only aftermarket r9 290 but I have never Heard one bad thing about gigabytes fans so it was a no brainer whether to wait 2 months for TF IV
