    You know, I really thought the MSRP of the 780 was $750 (because of the EVGA water-block edition) this whole time...and I really thought the R9 290x would be $600. I...I'm, just...I'm going to have a hard time choosing between the 780 and R9 if...the R9 don't over-clock. If AMD already pushed it to it's limits and there is no overclock headroom....it better be as fast as the Titan for $700. Or I will buy a 780 for $750 (because I want the water block) and overclock it to Titan levels. I truly only want the best deal I can get, I owe neither AMD or Nvidia my allegiance. And, I really like the LightBoost 2D. I can kind of do the same thing with my Samsung monitor (Frame Sequential 3D mode) and an AMD card...but its a $600 monitor (I got a C grade refurb. for $300) and only Samsung monitors can do it. Any LightBoost monitor is only like $200.
