The fans look impressive. Interesting that power is only 6pin + 8pin.
I read that the R9 series is selling well -- and prices are creeping upwards. I would expect that prior to Christmas. Again, if I did not already have two HD7970, I'd be interested in one of the multi-fan versions.

For me to Consider XFire, -AMD Has to have the Drivers for Eyefinity Frame Pacing Done. -I'd have to Watercool both GPUs -Prices need to not Exceed $325 for a 7970, which right now is not happening.
I'd Rather Get a 290x, reference or not, and put a Closed Water loop on it.
There's a R9-290X with Two 8Pins and One 6 Pin (22 Pin Total), lol.

If I only had one HD7970, I'd actually be in the market for a 290X. Darned -- I have two. I guess I'll have to suffer

ASUS DCII 290X Is Expected to be out very soon and about $799 (Yikes). Review: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/har...-oc-review.htmlAlso Prices should start coming down in Jan, when everyone gets replinishment shipments, due to the XXX-Coin Market taking a huge hit. lets just say all them eBay kids that spent Mucho Money on buying 7900 GPUs are now trying to return them.

I wouldn't even consider getting a couple until they're back to MSRP. I'd need to buy two waterblocks as it is.

well the coin market took a poo, so they should be back to MSRP in Jan.
AMD said it wasnt them jacking up prices, it was the Retailers.

Apparently AMD's got something up their sleeve,?
Apparently Hawaii GPU's Could use a Total of 48 Compute Units on a FULL Hawaii GPU, Not 44 originally Believed.
Hawaii 100% Operational GPU 48 Compute Units 192 Texture Mapping Units 64 ROPs 3072 Stream Processors.
Compared to the R9-290X's: 44 Compute Units: 176 Texture Mapping Units 64 ROPs 2816 Stream Processors.
the R9-290X Competes nicely with the 780/780 Ti's
nVidia's Chips are Running Maxed out, AMD still has 4 CUs, 16 TMU's and 256 Stream Processors to Unlock.
Hmmmmmm... The Plot thickens.

Or the yields worsen and they can't get a productive number of chips with no flaws to allow that.
Just because you can design it doesn't mean you can build it cost-effectively.

Most do with their new chips. But as AMD's is the newest, they're the ones having the problem right now. Presumably nvidia will come out with their newest one next, and it will be their turn.

So Far, R9-290X has Propelled out of my Price Range due to miners jacking up price while hindering availibility.
Come Tax Return time, prices prolly wont be down enough, and I'm not dropping $800+ on a Single GPU.
However I have found some deals on the R9-290 Sapphire TriX Cooler, which is Hands down the best Cooler So Far on the Hawaii GPUs
Considering the 7970/R9-280s are approaching $500 now.
R9-290 Sapphire TriX: NewEgg ($579), Amazon ($599), TigerDirect (not Listed), Microcenter (Not Listed), eBay ($750->$92,000, yes 92 THOUSAND)
however, there are some Auctions Hidden in the results,
For $599, You get the Sapphire TriX OC R9-290, Plus a R7-240 P# 11216-00-20G (2GB). (Valued at $120)
I guess I can use the R7 in scrap system that I'm piecing together out of spare parts. that way I don't have to use the 8800GTS or XFX6850, both of which are reference designs and idle extremely warm.
or Sell it to Someone who wants to Run Dual GFX with their Kaveri APU
So for $599, you can sell the R7-240 for $100, which makes it a $499 Purchase, So $100 Above Reference MSRP, but the Cooler Alone is prolly worth it.
If Prices keep Climbing above MSRP, I'll have to resort to getting a 2nd 7950, and Crossfire them, and buy a MST Hub, as I want to Either Ditch DisplayPort, or Ditch DVI/HDMI, and use 1 Display Timing across all 3 displays, the 3rd screen tearing is getting annoying.

LOL, and I was able to get an OC'd 770 for $200 after sale, rebate, and selling my old 570. Sure it's not as fast as a 290 or 290X, but for 1/3 the price I'm getting 3/4 or more of the speed...BARGAIN! The Jedi Master

AMD Cards (7900 Series Specifically), have some insane mining stats, nVidia doesnt match them in Mining performance, so their prices are staying low.
It's annoying, Gaming Wise, a AMD Counterpart to an nVidia GPU is now 2-3x more because of the Mining.
