mikeangs2004 The R9 290X 3X version should be faster, since it's non-reference. I should get a confirmation of this through a later best of graphics updateReply -
Zeh 450W....something is wrong
I'm guessing 450w is the ammount of energy (heat) the Windforce 3X cooler can dissipate (while mantaining thermals within reasonable levels). Considering the GTX 780 can't use that much energy, the cooler won't have to operate to it's full capacity and will be more silent (eg working at 40% fan speed). -
_BigHead_ @Zeh: It also has the potential to allow for a higher overclock, as keeping a board as cold as possible will allow greater stability. that, and as you overclock power consumption increases necessitating greater cooling requirements.but your interpretaion is correct as well.Thanks Tom's and Gigabyte for this wonderful giveaway!Reply -

Aboslutely. These are info grabs, nothing else. -

No one is forcing you to enter. I personally don't care if Tom's gets some information from my Facebook account. More than anything I would imagine they are just trying to use social media for some advertising. Also, I don't see anything wrong with a website trying to collect some information on the demographics of it's users.
