Suggestion Needed for High-End PC @150K

[rijinpk1]

Have i mentioned anything about GTX 780 TI?No
I am pissed that the fanboyism is so great that people are recommending ref. r9 290x knowing its heating issues
Wait for a non-reference design of r9 290x with a good cooler*sapphire toxic*? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.BUY THAT AS HOT AS MERCURY CARD NAOOO!!!!

And its not like the golden days of 2011 when you could easily use a 95C card and OC the CPU like a boss

I Think sapphire 290x which everyone is recommending uses AMD reference design only. Custom cooled ones will be priced higher
Everyone here is an AMD fanboy.
Thats the reason

this is the reason. every thread i commented regarding r9 290x, i told to use custom cooled versions only. you can check that. this is not fanboism . do you still think so??

This is not regarding you. It is the community in general
usually it is OMGGGGG THE 290X BESTS TITAN AND 780 IN EVERY BENCHMARK!!!!! YOU CAN BUY IT HERE*mdcomputers link**btw it is not available on MD,just listed*(the caps and !!!! are just exaggerations,but you get the point)
No one mentions the heating issues.Imagine if a noob just buys the reference card,without knowing about the temperature issues,just because it is cheap,Instead of waiting for a slightly expensive 290x with better cooler

ankush has already mentioned to stick with custom cooled ones before your comment also he has mentioned that his friend has bought 290/290x in lamington road for 42.5k. he may be unlucky to get stock cooler but it is available. there is no need to purchase from md only

lets not derail the thread on nvidia vs AMD again, there is no such word as "fanboy" , its a made up word, fake stupid word with no sense, it has been invented to directly insult a person who simply likes a brand much more than others. AMD, nvidia ain't gonna come to your home to see whether you lost 5-8 FPS in a game run by nvidia card or almost burnt your circuits just to prove the other is best ....we should learn to be unbiased. .

If the person is really blind to the blatant flaws of the product he buys when there is some, and still argues and supports illogically in favor of it, then its called plain and simple Stupidity. This unnecessary flame wars are going on every damn forum across the world, and its nothing good, anyone can be loyal to a brand, just as everyone is for so many other stuff. lets get rid of that POS word in this forum, make it tidier.


On Topic,
@op
If within your buying period, nvidia price cuts reach india, then you can think of buying GTX 780 (after market editions, such as MSI, ASUS, GALAXY) and GTX 770 replacing R9-290X and R9-280X respectively, 780 custom being same as per with R9-290X with custom editions still obviously being cheaper, silent, cooler. 770 bit higher than R9-280X not significantly in perf without OC and still pricier. So you're call, there is no direct competition of R9-290 from nvidia now, nonetheless , facts remain that this card being immensely loud and hot, one should always buy ASUS, SAPPHIRE ones.

Right now there is no price-cut explicitly visible from nvidia in India, so no question of buying a 770 or 780, go with 280X, or 290 ( or X) with cooler according to your budget.

i meant to say that it is available eventhough as you said " it is not available on MD,just listed*(the caps and !!!! are just exaggerations,but you get the point". no need to get from md or mumbai

Right now there is no price-cut explicitly visible from nvidia in India, so no question of buying a 770 or 780, go with 280X, or 290 ( or X) with cooler according to your budget.

this is what my point is.

GTX 780 is the competitor to r9 290
GTX 780 Ti is the competitor to r9 290x

i was forced to comment as he mentioned that explicitely

. AMD, nvidia ain't gonna come to your home to see whether you lost 5-8 FPS in a game run by nvidia card or almost burnt your circuits just to prove the other is best ....we should learn to be unbiased. .

money is important whether it is spent even to buy clothes.

no, at cheaper price GTX780 aftermarket editions are easily clocking at same with 290X stock , aftermarket 290X will be higher too. 780ti is way above in price and good ahead in performance, across all benches it performs n 8-10% faster than 290X for extra 150$ premium, the exact same amount of premium R9-290X has over R9-290 for less than 8% performance gain. R9-290 has basically no competition right now except itself.

 

[marvelousprashant]

for argument sake, how about sapphire 290x in a liquid cooled case

with liquid cooling on the r9 290x?
