Hello,

Today I saw this Sapphire Radeon R9 290X "BF4 Edition" offer for 350 usd. With other R9 290x cards being within 800 usd range at my local stores this deal seemed to good to be true. Any 1 got any idea what the BF4 edition actually means and if it has any impact on performance for other games? (Since I'm not going to play BF4 anyway...) Or anything that would make this card so cheap?

It uses the reference cooler which is horrible, if you get the card the first thing I would suggest doing is replacing the stock cooler with either a arctic accelero xtreme(~$100), arctic hybrid($130) or build a custom water loop.
