MSI R9 380 2GD5T OC - I have this card. got it because i was under a strict budget. this experience taught me 1 thing. save to buy what you want instead of buying what you can all at once. Cant wait to upgrade.
If you want a real value the r9 290x is very similar to performance of the r9 390x also the 290x price is close to a regular 390. So if you want the best performance card the 980 Ti is the better choice if you are looking for performance per dollar the r9 290x is still an excellent choice.
I think the R9 290 is winning because we're voting on a website dedicated to giving people discounts and Radeon graphics are all about price for performance. There are plenty of better cards out there (not just my opinion there are factually higher performing cards than a 290), but because of the website we're using we're among "budget" PC builders.
someone had to put the titan Z on here. it is not a gaming card. 980ti is a beast though. best bet to get the most people that would buy one would be to make sure there are waterblocks available for that specific card.
