To me all cards priced much more then $100 above the R9 290 are over priced but I did settle for 290X + Xtreme III and that's something I've yet to comprehend.

Looks cool, but is it a bit big? Looks like it might be triple slot. Anyone know just how much bigger these are, and if they work in crossfire?
Remember, you are not using a Crossfire bridge any longer, so if your board allows it, you can space your cards apart by using a lower x16 slot. Allowing for a 2.5 or 3 slot solutions.
I just got my 290 today, and Gelid...but dumb me selected the wrong one...got the A version and not V2. Don't know how I did that but....I have done stupider things. Got to return the cooler and get a different one.
Here are some interesting benchmarks that were posted over at OCN comparing a 780 at 1293/1597 at 1.3V against a 290X at 1200/1400 at 1.35V
