What have you had/are you currently running?
Why Nvidia over AMD (or vice versa)?
What kind of FPS are you getting? Over-clocked? Max temp at stock or OC'd?





Last card I had was a XFX 7970 (Double fan) and it didn't do to well at stock

I attempted to over-clock but no setting but stock seemed stable in games



Planning on going with a 290 if they are decently priced (290x if they are GG priced)
otherwise I'm going to Nvidia with their 780

Oh god, Another one of these threads >_<


Currently using a msi 280x, Had a msi 570
60+ in most games, too lazy to grab unigine
Not currently overclocked, waiting on a afterburner that works better with my card (vrm control issues)
70c~ gaming, at like 30% fan

Was $200 cheaper then the nvidia equivelant when i bought it.

Less then a month before the "true" 290's come out so it kind of works.
Been without a graphic card sense November and have been debating on just doing the 780.
That and the 290's 4gb vs the 780's 3gb.

I have the gtx 780 and I'm very pleased with it

The highest I've see it run is around 74 during heaven benchmarks.

Whatever is better price/performance, could care less about which one
Brand wise however, I prefer XFX, ASUS, EVGA, MSI...

Waiting to get my new computer built this weekend.

Going to be running an i5-3570k I plan to OC to 4.2-4.4 on liquid cooling.

And I'll be pairing it with a EVGA 780 FTW, which I will probably OC a bit more than it already comes which is good as is.

Waiting for EVGA 780ti Kingpin, I have $2k set aside for a set (hoping $2k will cover it). I had a pair of 7990's, didn't care much for 'em. Currently rolling with SLI EVGA 650ti boost SC with 660 waterblocks (until the 780ti KPE's), still the best budget cards with great scaling.
