I see that Lazada now has a good deal for the sapphire tri-x 290x.. very tempting to buy as i most prob will get a new system to play witcher 3 sometime in june.

However, i just bought a new r280 about 2 months ago to replace a 7870 that went kaput, so i dunno if it is worth it to get that new gfx card now, or till wait till june n hope that e price continues to get better

Want buy buy msi gaming edition instead. Also around the same price. But need to see whether sls have.

Comes with a backplate support, 3 years warranty instead of 2 years.

Good cooler used with vrms heatsink section.
