Hi

Im looking to upgrade my 660TI to get a more powerful card so i can play games at 1440p, should I go with a 290 or 290X. I know that their based off the same architecture (or something like that) so is the 290X worth the extra £100(ish) And I intend to for the non reference versions of these cards to come out. I should just mention, Ive never overclocked a GPU and I'm not entirely sure how to but i think i may do with this new card


thanks in advance
