  1. This is awesome- i love the GPU reviews here. Wish I had £500 spare, or £600 for the 8GB version.

  2. Sapphire focus a lot on the VRM’s – which many AMD partners DON”T. Glad to see you pointing it out in this review

  3. The Sapphire 290 is the better value card, its only 6 phase, not 10, but it overclocks well and saves you £130. enough to get a good new power supply
