2x 290s, as in sig. Both from ebay, both hynix. Quite pleased. Also, a powercolor ref. 290 in my X58 rig, though this one has elpida. It can unlock though :O
My son is running an R9-270x paired with an Athlon II x4 630. It does surprisingly well in BF4. Decent (playable) frame rates on High graphics setting.
Running a 260X and waiting for 390X. These card is cheap here and have good performance in 1080P.
Skyrim: with 22 mods (most textures and RCRN for shaders and FXAA) with 60fps most time and dips to 47-52 in open areas with a lot vegetation. No MSAA.
BF4 Multiplayer: performace with mantle is 70-80 fps on medium presset with mesh and aniso on ultra.
Divinity Original Sin: shadow on high, DOF and Screen Space OFF and gives lock 60fps in many cases with dips to 45-50 in demanding situations such as in battles with many enemies. But the turn base combat helps a lot and the game is perfect playable.
I *just* upgraded to a pair of 7950 cards, so I voted R9 280 (their closest equivalent in the poll).
Currently just doing DC with them, torture-testing them if you will. Card hits 70C, fan-speed 53%, something around 3200RPM. A little concerned that GPU-Z reports 12V as 11.72V. I'm using a nearly-new Antec EarthWatts 500W, with a G3258 @ 3.8.
Have a 7870 that has been sitting in the shelf for months. The cooler is broken and I cant be bothered to RMA / buy a custom cooler. Since my gaming consists mostly of Strategy and MOBA (League of Legends / Dota2), Kaveri does an adequate job of pushing pixels without the additional noise or heat.
I had a 7870 until it busted in a car accident (long story). So I was making do with my old 5770 until Dragon Age Inquisition came out, at which point I bought my 270X. I may just sell it and upgrade once AMD comes out with the R 300 series.
I still own a reference 290 or a 290X with a BIOS flip switch and a bump in voltage it works just fine. I also own a handful of APU's which have pretty decent gaming capabilities for integrated video (comparable to low end Radeon R7 series cards).
