Adding another 25W to the 290s' TDP should make those cards even nicer space heaters...

It dosnt take up to 8gb, lol. You can freaken max it out with 4gb.
I hope that is enough VRAM. I mean, I'd rather shell out another 100-200 bucks for a 16GB version because Shadow of Watch Orcs takes up to 8GB of ram which is really pushing it...

So sick of these dumb comments.. do You own one or are you just trying to fit in on these forums?? Does it warm up the room like the gtx 280 and 480?? It's really not that hot.. mine never peaks over 85c when it's overclocked to 1170core and 1550 on he memory.

My 2 290 cards never go above 60c ever, even when I was litecoin farming,
I do have 4 scrythe gentle typhoons fans fitted and 2 intel water coolers fitted that cost me next to nothing and its dead silent to boot

Why anyone would want anything faster is beyond me.
silent cool fast what more can you ask for.
And because its running much cooler I can overclock it more and also use less power due to the lower temps.
