there is nothing spectacular on 290X, it is power hungry and noisy monster with performance of 8 months old Titan, nothing more. But for better price.
I agree with you

surely the 290x will overclock to.....But the problem is you don't see the whole picture here
If we are talking about the performance? we see this performance before. if we are talking about price? yes the price will be good Compared to TITAN card

We are not talking about nvidia+ amd fanboy! These guys just big noobs.....We are talking about The distinctive thing new in this card that came with price.....(Suppose the price is 700) And make you want to buy it like a maniac ?
so in my opinion is.....nothing.

but Despite all what I say now we will wait to see the real performance when the review come
