actually its market value is 613$ in here. my country's tax is really high and with our currency, it becomes a lot more expensive than its default value. believe me, its cheap for me:).

he said when he pushed the gpu for 98% cycle, fan didn't get higher than 30%, in a normal gpu it would see 70% which 7950 sees (he also has that card and verifies it)...I'm not intent to 4k gaming so I hope this card is gonna be fine for someone like me....but generally, of course you're right.

too late bro I bought it already:) (for 321$) I saw your comment later but think about it, if reference designs are faulty (like overheating etc.), would AMD or NVIDIA produce them like that? and the person I bought it from said that it features fully working without any issues from 95 C to 125...

@boozzer I listened you and am gonna buy a secondhand card from someone who used it very clean...its R9 290 so I don't know if I overrated a little bit:)....but it seems like the only choice to avoid these problems with 280x I guess..besides the price am gonna pay for 290 is less than 280x this...

I've never seen one single person who's ok with 280x, regardless of manufacturer actually. So I think am gonna be one of those Nvidia guys. what are your opinions about Gigabyte gtx 770 guys?...some say if I wanna play in 1080p, I should focus more on radeon that has 3gb 384 bit but after what I...

verified by many that it doesn't lower the memory voltage and still gets the artifacts,black squares, or even flickering. It just doesn't make sense because otherwise ASUS wouldn't gave that vbios to us. although you said that I should be careful when getting 280x, I'm still gonna wait for your...

ok I got you know:).....280 is "safe" I suppose...as I said, never heard anything bad about it (done a lot of research about it yes) and its not overOVERclocked like 280x, in fact, it has slow speeds. though I want 280x like everyone else since this is gonna be my first pc am building on so I...

what the???.....280 also has artifacts?.....but its both mem and clock speeds are really low dont know much about its mem voltage but I haven't heard anything bad about 280 till now. So you say I should stay away from asus then:(

the new bios that is on asus' webpage doesn't change the memory voltage to 1.5v....at least thats what some people say. and it cannot be changed....I hope thats not true and brunello is right about his statement because I wanna buy this card and hoping that there are solutions to get this card...
