Wow 2 8-pin plus another 6-pin for a single gpu?

Yep, it's a beast for sure. I just hope they do the same with the 290 or at least give it the same high end treatment.

Kinda the same thing I'm waiting on. I saved about 300$ on my build over last week compared to this week. I however am waiting off to see the results of non reference performance. It's going to be torture having such a beast machine running intel hd graphics for a month :'(

Are you sure about that? I'm gonna have 1300$ just sitting under my desk waiting to be unleashed. I wonder if using a ramdisk will help with integrated gpu performance o.O

Nah ram disk is for mad fast storage doesn't help fps lol.

Well I'm more looking at is as integrated gpu's don't have dedicated ram, so they could be bottle-necked by data transfers from hdd > system ram > gpu. Seeing as the bottle neck in that equation is the hdd it may help a bit. Also v.v no need to be a dick with your 1000 watt psu and your 2 different kits of ram.... lol
