hi. i cant decide which r9-290 so asking for advise. It seem that i cant find much info about:
XFX Radeon R9 290 Boost Edition, - 316£ (i read that xfx can be flashed to asus r9-290x unlocked)
Sapphire Technology AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB, - 307£ (sapphire always had good rep)
VTX3D AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB GDDR5 - 320£ (i owe vtx3d 7950 and was perfect but not great oc.)

I am planing to overclock it, cf later. I am leaning towards xfx as it could be unlocked to r9-290x but i know from past that they had faulty 7970.
And know nothing about sapphire.

Was thinking about gtx 780 but thats another 100£ and performance same as r9 290.
I play 1080p
Any help would be appreciated.

I would go with the Saphire r9-290 4gb as I have heard the same about Saphire having a good rep. Not a big fan of this unlocking option as I have read many horror stories of people trying to unlock and being unsuccessful and damaging their card.
