Hello,
This is my computer rig:
Intel Core i7 860@2.93GHz
GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD3L
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD5870
G.Skill Ripjaws-X 2x8GB DDR3 1600Mhz
WesternDigital 1TB
650W SeaSonic
CoolerMaster CM690
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I want to buy a new graphics card. I have very good experience with AMD so my next card will be theirs also.
Now, there's the R9 series with the 290X at the top (not including the x2 versions).
Also, I'll buy the Sapphire version too, unless you recommand (and why) other companies.
My questions are:
1. Let's say I buy the 290X in one of it's versions (vapor-x etc), will it fit in the case without a problem? and what about the PSU?
2. Are there new cards from AMD that will be released soon? If yes, is there anything known about them? Should I wait for them?
3. There's no bottleneck with i7 right?
If you have anything else to add or explain about, it'll help alot.
Thanks
