8GB Sapphire Radeon R9 290X TOXIC

8GB Sapphire Radeon R9 290X TOXIC

Though I have no idea why any gamer should ever need it, Sapphire is stirring the marketing buzz a bit more by announcing a 8GB Radeon R9 290X, it will be a VaporX or Toxic edition.  The presumably Toxic Edition ships with an orange accented cooler. Both of these cards will be limited edition and pricing has yet to be confirmed by Sapphire.

Currently there is no word on the clock frequencies whatsoever, but expect a 1050 MHz'ish clock frequency. Anyway below the photo's, courtesy of kitguru.

AA requires massive amounts of ram.

if you are going to xfire this puppy, you will be cranking up the AA requireing more memory.

Paritucualrily 8x-16xAA at 4KAm I the only gamer who thinks AA looks awfully fuzzy & unappealing? I never use it in any game. ...1080p btw.

it depends on how you are using it.

MLAA is certainly fuzzy.

SSAA with edge detect not so much.

A Heavily modded (+enb+ Ugrids 7/9) Skyrim exceeds 4 GB Vidmem here in 4K in some scenes. (I havn't much succes with SKSE and the mempatch in getting it under 4GB)
