For anyone who needs a good ATI card (or a heater) this winter and does not want to pay for the 3 series. I have bought it a couple of weeks ago when it was €299, but at the moment it is even lower €289.90, the cheapest it has been...ever.
Depending on the credit card you have it can be as low as £215 plus shipping

If it was £10-20 extra I'd agree, but it's £100 more!
And IMO 8GB VRAM is only needed for 4K resolutions. 4GB is fine for 1440p and lower.
Textures aren't going to drastically improve much due to consoles...

Yep agree, I have the MSI version of this card and had to cut a chunk out of my HD mounting caddy for it to fit in my case.

Scorching! Pretty much the same as a 390X, but "only" 4GB of RAM; get one before they all vanish.

Not really following GPUs but I believe the 390x has the same architecture as the 290x, so bearing in mind the price difference and the fact that you buy it from Amazon (even .fr :smiley: ) it was a non brainer for me.
Btw the ticker is stuck on 8 remaining since last week so they might have a few coming the following weeks.
Just beware...the card is looooong...had to spend another £45 for a new tower.

Because this has the same architecture as the 3XX series card's driver's will be identical so the only real difference is the more VRAM on the 390x and the higher core clock.

Depends what games and settings. CS:GO absolutely but BF4 or Crysis 3 definitely not. Two of them would do it on most games.

BF4 which crucifies hardware , runs at 60 - 120 fps for me (with everything on Ultra and AA on max) with one of these
