Only appeared after I turned on the PC after it being off for more than 3 weeks. Fixed now and leak testing this last few days. Torn between replacing the Titans with R290's or 780ti's. All under water so the reference cooler performance with the 290's isnt an issue. Kinda leaning towards the 290's with it 4Gb ram as I game on 3 1600 screens. My brother will happily take two of the Titans off me.

This was done over on OCUK with both cards on air. I really want to see some results with these cards under water as most of the results I've seen so far are on air. Are there custom PCBs for the 290X's on the way? Their overclocking potential, Mantle(yet to see how) and that memory bandwidth is whats swinging me towards the 290x's at the moment. But I'll have to spend time going through all the reviews, while navigating through all the forum bickering before I make a decision.

No point in jumping on either until the third-party versions come out.
deceit wrote: » Anandtech tried them in cf vs sli in 4k which is where the 290x's performed just as well (meant this previous not better). I wanted a 780ti but mantle was what is making me think amd again. Was pissed off with cf drivers for eyefinity which is why i dont want amd again but its fixed with 290/x
viperirl wrote: » One of the reviews(Hexus) had Crysis 3 using around the 3.5GB vram with a 4K display. Given that 7680x1600 is a good bit more than that then I think its wise to stick with the Titans for now. I posted this elsewhere and consensus is that sticking with the Titans is wise. I'll wait and see if 6GB versions of the 780ti come along but probably I'll hold out until Maxwell.
deceit wrote: » Yea you would be crazy to get rid of your titans now you have them, but I think someone that buys titans has to be a little crazy or just have more money than sense :P. I seen some info say there would be 780 ti 6 and 12gb versions but until I see proof would say thats bull.
