If that happens (the 250watt part) I think we would all be blown away. I just hope for around ~300 just so it will not be too difficult to run 3 of them for the crazy people like me (Albeit I am probably sitting this round out). Though if it is I am probably going to blow a gasket.20% tax on items. As for the Aussies, yes - they are absolutely shafted. Criminally so.
Well the new leaks on 390X are cool indeed. If 60% faster than 290X and Titan is 50% faster than 980, tally it against this:
And you'll get a heat. If an 8GB 390X is $1000 and a 12GB Titan is $1000 and both pull 250Watts, this will be a fucking awesome round of cards
So there are 8gb variants already in the works, I missed that honestly as I thought it was just a bunch of hope/rumors. I would think some 8gb variants of the card would be pretty nice in a pair for 4k gamers.UK prices tend to differ from US so it's harder to judge here. That being said the only comparison I have directly is for 1440p and it's a £500 Benq Free-sync versus a £620 Asus ROG G-Sync. In comparison the cheapest BenQ at 1440p without Free-Sync is £320 and the equivalent cheapest Asus is £420. So for BenQ you pay an extra £180 (or %56 more) and for Asus you pay an extra £200 (48% more). In terms of what you pay more for Free-Sync or G-Sync, you'll probably find the prices aren't that far off (all TN panels). Though I wont argue the point that Nvidia got there first so slapped a premium on it. If they drop that premium as more Free-Sync appears then they simply did what most tech does - charge more initially because nobody else has it.
The cheapest 1080p G-Sync on this retailer is £330. Unfortunately no 1080p Free-Sync to compare. Another retailer has a 1440p 28" Acer G-Sync at £510 (£80 more than their equiv Free-Sync).
Either way, I have little interest in G/Free sync for now as I may go AMD or Nvidia next round so I don't want a redundant monitor choice.
EDIT: NPU has news - looks like 390X is $700-1000. Sony Xperia wont be happy.
