Sapphire has really knocked this one out of the park in terms of cooling. Pricing is a bit high and needs to be around USD 530. :thumbsup:

Yeah, price prohibitive right now. When they all drop $50, it will be worth considering.

I think I'd pay $80 more for a next level card, to be honest.

true. currently I see two stellar cards in terms of value for money aka perf/$. R9 390 and GTX 980 Ti. I would say if somebody wants a reasonably good 1440p performance they should get R9 390. If they want the best 1440p performance that money can buy they should get a custom GTX 980 Ti OC like the MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming or ASUS GTX 980 Strix. Everything in between is a neither here nor there choice. The cards in between don't fundamentally change the gaming experience over a R9 390 the way a 980 Ti OC does.

I would be curious about the unlock rate. Price still a tad high it seems.

Wish this wasn't a 3 slot cooler.

So you think Sapphire did a damn good job, but that it should be cheaper than launch MSRP? That's some pretty ambitious standard.

This. It makes no sense when you are spending this level of money $$ for this type of tier of GPU power. IMO a $550 pricing level GPU doesn't make sense compared to the high end Fury X/980 TI options for the dollar difference.

You must have missed all of the people saying the Fury X would be awesome @ $550. Or they would never want liquid cooling. I think for the current market the perf/$ is right where it belongs. Thus why 980/ti have dropped in price since Fury's release.
