AMD Radeon R9 290X Battlefield 4 Edition 8,000 and "No Specs" For Pre-Order

well it doesn't look $599 fast to me. And no reviews or anything before ordering is just asking for it. Mantle, the only game that says it will do it is BF4 and they say they will release a mantle patch in December. This sounds like something N would do LOL they are just waiting on N to...

want to move to 2560 27" monitor on next video update

120hz, not Mhz, there are no 2560x1440 panels that can cope with 120hz. see I told you I don't know LOL QNIX QX2710 Evolution 2 ....... 27″ 2560×1440 ~90Hz – 130Hz this is the monitor I was looking at. They are out of glossy so that is probably what I want :)

XFX Double D 7950 Black Edition +3Free Games $199 AR

less I think they are both good. some say the XFX J model has 6 and 8 power connectors and is a 7970 board that can do more on overclocking and not voltage locked. But heck might as well get a 7970 or wait for the new 9000 cards instead of trying to do that much. Both can do 1000-1050 at stock...
