Now that the new ATI Radeon R9 290X is out in the market, I am hoping there will be a good competition for nVidia's 780Ti. Here is a good review from Anandtech. I have been using nVidia till now. Recently, one of my older GPUs, a GTX 285 went bad. I need to replace it and was thinking of getting something from ATI for a change. Does anyone out there have this card crunching Seti? Any suggestions regarding the performance and value for money? Edit: The Windforce model from Gigabyte is listed for $700 by Newegg. ______________ |

Make sure you have the latest apps running. Check my website to make sure. On AP`s the 290x is faster than 780ti. On MB7 should be almost equal. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Prices of 290 and 290X are well over recommended by AMD. People mining coins buys them like hot cakes. AMD advantage is gone. I can't see price wars (that I was hoping) in near future... |

I did note the higher price tag on these cards compared to what AMD used to release before. However, I have never been able to understand the bitcoin stuff. Nevertheless, I really want a couple of ATI cards to cruch seti and the 290X seems to be the best one currently available, unless someone can point out another one. |

I`d go for a R9 290X TriX from Sapphire. It has special cooling and is factory overclocked as well. R9 290X TriX With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |
