Hi, some months back I got a 3 monitor(1080p) setup for gaming. Right now I have an xfx dual fan 7950 feeding it, but while it does try it's best it's really not quite powerful enough for my tastes, so I might upgrade.
How do the 290 stack up against the 780? Here the 290 is a bit cheaper, and the extra gb of ram is also tempting, but of course it is noisier and seems to overclock worse. My 7950 gets pretty noisy too, how much worse is the 290 when it ramps up the fan speed?
Right now I'm playing World Of Tanks the most, and while I can use most preferences at ultra, I can't really use any shadows in the game without the performance tanking.
SLI or Crossfire is not an option.
