Where are the aftermarket 290's, 780ti's?

[Hauk]

290/290x originally rumored for end of November, yet no sign of one in design/production. Usually a leaked photo by now. Wanting to see (at minimum) a reference 290 PCB with aftermarket cooler, and a 780ti with beefy PCB/power/cooling.

EVGA/inno3D are advertising 780ti non-ref PCB, available Gigabyte/EVGA is cooler only. What gives Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, Galaxy, others??

It didn't do too badly at the time; maybe one of these guys on a 290x ??

Good effort but a thin 120mm rad just doesn't cut the mustard, forcing the fan to run extremely noisy. That and the pump blocked airflow, causing the other components to get very hot.

Its best if these companies just release bare-bone PCB no HSF at all, sell it $30-40 less than the reference design. Would make an awesome watercooling card.

A nice trend with 2 slot designs. Go wider if needed, keeping it 2 slot. Keep multi gpu an option..
