Wait for an aftermarket custome factory overclocked AMD 290X
the stock AMD card has a 512bit bus with only 5000Mhz ram.. wait for third party board makers to start adding 6000-7000Mhz ram versions and upping the GPU clock with a big factory overclock. may even be 20% faster then the stock card...
R9 290X
300 GB/sec. bandwidth (vs. 288 GB/sec. in 7970 GE)
For the new R9 290X (512bit bus) to get only 12 GB/sec more memory bandwidth vs HD7970Ghz (384-bit bus )
all while using a massive 512bit memory bus it must be using really slow GDDR5 maybe 3800Mhz or something wow.. what a step back...
Its a Titan killer but most likely on 28nm we will know more in a few months when its released. Prices are dropping on HD7970/50 all over the place to clear stock.

No surprise here ... wow a NEW gen card is FASTER then an old one, It's only happened like Every single time a new cards come out. lol
Looks like allot of people will...
I still think MS have an uphill battle for this next gen..
They no longer have a 1 year head start,
They no longer have the faster GPU with more Usable Ram
They no longer have the cheapest system
It will be very interesting to see how a cheaper more powerful PS4 competes with a more...
Vote on facebook
Looking at the vote makes me feel very worried about "In stock" levels of PS4's
Get ready for allot of $600+ PS4's Popping up on Ebay guys to supply those people who cant wait or must have a PS4 before Xmes
Pre-Order is your friend if your looking to get one in 2013...
Just the CEO of Lenova (China) who gave all his workers the equivalent of $2300 US Dollars ($257 REAL) as a bonus when last years performance figures came in at 30% growth.
50% of their monthly wage.
I too am "hoping" the mother of dragons come out on top ;) eheh

This is BS from MS.. any store will be just passing the price down to users and you can no longer, lend, give away or sell your games to friends/ebay

Glad to be in Australia.. the only Western country to not go into the recension bucket. But we cap our CEO's and tax the hell out of rich people to give to the poor.. works well!
AMD lost allot of Intel's blackmail tactics and has what it has now. The future is looking better then it was but...
I'm interested in how steamroller performs and how it compares to Haswell seeing as Haswell isnt much better then Sandy Bridge 5-10% at most!
but steamroller is a massive 30-50% vs Bulldozer moving away from crippled 8 cores back to "almost" full 8 CPU cores
Probably wont beat Haswell on...
The latency thing isn't actually true. Typical GDDR5 memory controllers have high latency, but the modules themselves don't necessarily. Most of what I've seen indicates the opposite; that GDDR5 can have extremely low latency vs DDR3, but building a memory controller to take advantage of that is...
GDDR5 uses less base voltage then DDR3 but it draws around 25% more power :) RAM in general doesn't use much power compared to CPU/GPU/HDD ext! Also the first GDDR5 running on 56nm node wasnt as efficient as the 46nm, 40nm and 28nm GDDR5 that's currently used on HD7970GE and will be in the PS4...
PS4 back on topic ! ... Sony will let us know there take on used games, show the plastic and provide more info on the machine with new games at E3 :) should be good but i dont understand why they haven't leaked this stuff already
