Nice

And we've got some other cards too:

DCU 2 (290X) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-330-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752
Trixx (290) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-341-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752

I've read one of DCU 2 reviews and... they are using cheap elpida memory chips, we want Hynix :/

Isn't the sapphire tri-x using Hynix?

Here too, at €524 (Windforce). 780Ti is €614, reference 290x €482, 780 €445.

Yup, i think yes. But Trixx would be better in OC than Asus DCU? Probably. I love Sapphire (Sapphire>Asus). But we don't know anything about VRM temps and core temps (there is just one review, we have to see more).

x3 fans is a very good idea for that "behemoth". I'm waiting for more R9 290 (non-X) Trixx reviews.

Thanks. Wow, I'm positively surprised - 76*c in furmark.
R9 290X is not worth extra $ imho. It's almost same performance for 20-25% more $.
