Hello there everyone
I really want to make sure I'm buying the best thing possible for my money...as the title says I cannot decide what gpu to buy
I was really thinking of getting an ASUS R9 290X DirectCU II since it's pretty cheaper then the cheapest gtx 970 I can find here(in Croatia)
Especially considering the new Radeon Software gave perfomance boost to most of it's cards.
But I'm really worried about overheating of the card,because some reviews say that directCU II is enough to keep the card cool,but then again some reviews say that it easily reached the thermal limit of 94 degrees.
The case that I'd fit my GPU is Zalman z11 if that means anything
I really appriciate your help! :)
