Another 2500K user here with an itch but no real reason to jump as a BF4/Insurgency player. Oh and Arma3, which is pretty CPU intensive but currently not showing enough of a jump with new processors to warrant a whole new setup. cj

Hi m8 I run a 2500K with a 290 (XFX version) and they are a great combination. Do you overclock the CPU ? It could make a bid difference in some games and could be the cause of your slowdowns - I run mine ar 4.6MHz with a bit of tweaking, but do read around it and take it easy. cj

3+2+9 = 14 and I guessed 275, and 2+7+5 also equals 14 ! Consolation prize ? Congratulations club. cj

275 I like the ones with the white mallow backs. cj

I keep everything on the centre screen of the eyefinity group (its one of the settings I came across setting it up). I turn the other (outer) two off if I need to and just turn them on for gaming. cj

I owned : Going back I liked my 4890. XFX 6950 which unlocked to a 6970 and was a good clocker. Windforce 7950, again a good clocker. I think : I would add the 690 (which I nearly pressed the button on) and the current 970. cj

Fair enough - a boys got to ask though ! And yes, a reference 290X at that price is still a cracker. cj

Dont suppose you can honour one of the 290X PCS errors . . . cj

I ordered and got a confirmation but don't hold out much hope as the order on the system is now for a total of £700 ! And for once I was quickest out of the gate, and even thought if was legit as I thought they were 290 and not 290X. cj

Mine went through at the lower price and I have an order confirmation email though payment not showing in PayPal just yet, so it look like it might be an error. That or a lot of F5 buttons are going to wear out on keyboards ! cj

Hm, I just ordered two of them at £90 each . . . cj

I run three 1680x1050 Samsung screens just over 5m pixels, and running BF4 on mostly high setings and all AA options etc off I use between 3.1 and 3.2 Gb VRAM on my 290. cj

Damn, missed again. Congratulations. m8/m8ess cj

Same here, except I use a triple monitor set up and looking across the games results it seemed to give the 290 the edge in the games I play (probbly due to the 512 bit bus), so I went for the XFX deal. If/when I sell my 7950 and game codes it'll probably be nearer the £100 mark for the upgrade...

+1 Went 7950 to 290 with the current low prices. Still a stretch for triple monitors, but lets see what 2015 brings. cj

Yep - was good to play a couple of rounds with the youngsters (think I was the oldest duffer on). Zavod still wins for me (though the urban part of the railway map has its moments. Might have to check out a more regular visit, if I can fit it in between Arma and Insurgency. Oh, and the real life...

Thanks m8. Searched quote a bit but missed that one. cj

I'd like to know this too - the Cooling Configurator is based on the DD Black version. cj

Thanks m8. cj
