    Is Radeon R9 290x worth double in price than R9 280x

    Yup I was checking out the GTX780 during the summer I think but I wanted to see first what the competitor has to offer. Also the GTX780 price tag was quite high (still is). At the moment it seems I will be building the new setup in January going with the R9 280X. How about the nVidia...

    Is Radeon R9 290x worth double in price than R9 280x

    Good point. Waiting does not solve anything, there is new stuff each half a year. Also with the resolution I think I will be sticking with 1080p for a while. 4K displays at an affordable price wont be out for a while I guess.

    Is Radeon R9 290x worth double in price than R9 280x

    If the R9 290X is going down with price I am definitely waiting. I was looking to buy the new PC setup in january (hopefully with some post-christmas discount) My local store does not even sell R9 290X yet. And if its comparable to TITAN with $450 off price its worth it right, especially if...

    Is Radeon R9 290x worth double in price than R9 280x

    You remember? Cool man :) It has been a while, at first I was looking at GTX 780 but I was waiting for R9 series and their performance. While I want to build as powerful machine as possible I dont want to put in anything that wont make much of a difference for twice the money. I think...

    Is Radeon R9 290x worth double in price than R9 280x

    Is the R9 290x successor of HD7990 hence being an enthusiast card a maximum peak in GPUs? If so I guess the R9 280x Toxic shall do the trick for a much lower price...

    Is Radeon R9 290x worth double in price than R9 280x

    Yet again, I find myself torn between two GPUs. My intention is to build a very powerful PC which would last at least 3 years of maxed out gaming however I cant decide whether it is worth it to spend twice as much on a Radeon R9 290x rather than spending half on R9 280x which has similar...

    Why is black color often poorly encoded in compressed videos

    Hi, I am curious why is pure black or nearly pure black color in movies and video clips (in situations such as dark tunnels or at night) poorly encoded in compressed formats? It does happen in HD and FULL HD formats too. No other color seems to create artifacts, only in very dark spots...

    Is it worth to wait for Radeon HD8000 series

    I am waiting for real benchmark results but right now I am thinking of going with Radeon R9 290X because it seems as a more powerful GPU than nVidea GTX780 or TITAN for a slightly higher price.

    Is it worth to wait for Radeon HD8000 series

    I see, well my only concern is that I buy the GTX 780 and a month or two later the Radeon HD8970 is released at slightly lower price and better specs. I guess that is quite common with hardware nowadays anyway.

    Is it worth to wait for Radeon HD8000 series

    Yeah its a tough decision now. I have been a Radeon supporter for about 5 years because they always had a cheaper and usually more powerful (or at least very similar) GPU, so I am kind of torn now.

    Is it worth to wait for Radeon HD8000 series

    Havent found it yet, I am hoping 3 months tops though. Apart from the memory size, its performance should be nearing or slightly overflowing GTX Titan, for half the price of Titan.

    Is it worth to wait for Radeon HD8000 series

    Hi, I am looking to build a new high-end computer, as of now I would add GPU card nVidea GTX780 but the question is, isnt it worth waiting up to 3 months to put in the Radeon HD8970? I read things that the radeon HD8970 is going to be quite a great compatitor to nVidea GTX Titan and will...

    What exactly makes GPU more powerful

    Thanks. Great review. I didnt know that about the bus size compared to memory size. I am guessing I will go with the GTX 780 even though the 770 would be far enough.

    Why is there budget RANGE on freelancer sites

    This would be completely correct in case if I was an employeE and I was stating how much might my final work be worth. BUT my question is, why would I as an employeR state a range of final price. If I as an employeR state my lower limit its as if I was saying: "You must charge me at least a...

    What exactly makes GPU more powerful

    Hi, I am torn between 2 nVidea cards. nVidea GTX780 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162134) and nVidea GTX770 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500303) I dont really understand the benchmark results. The GTX770 has higher memory clock and...

    Why is there budget RANGE on freelancer sites

    I would have stopped asking 2 questions ago if you didnt fail to give me a reasonable answer. If you cant do it, give space to someone else. So far the only thing you pointed out is that I never ran a business, I am sure you have me all figured out.

    Why is there budget RANGE on freelancer sites

    Yes I understand the point of bidding on a job, but to bid you only need the maximum value an employer can afford to pay. What do you need to know the minimum value for? Imagine instead of a freelance-job a car sale. You go into a vehicle store and tell the dealer "You must charge me at least...

    Why is there budget RANGE on freelancer sites

    You had a bunch of valid points however your examples referred to something else. The budget range I was describing can be compared to my example of going to a car dealer and buying a car. While it is true you expect a price of a freelancer job to be in some range, you as an employer...

    Why is there budget RANGE on freelancer sites

    Hello, I cant wrap my mind around budget RANGE on freelancer sites. Obviously a job requires a top value of a budget representing the maximum amount an employer is willing or able to pay for a job. What is the bottom value of a budget for? If you go to buy a car you never tell the...
