So I'm selling my R9 290X + waterblock to someone in the next few days, and until I've got a new graphics card I'll have to use a temporary setup. What I'm curious of is what card to get to replace the R9 290X.
Mind you, it's almost definitely going to be watercooled, so I require the waterblock compatibility. That basically rules out 80% of aftermarket coolers.
Presently, my options are looking like this (price in NOK):
5000 - AMD R9 Nano
6000 - GTX 980
6800 - AMD R9 Fury X
7200 - GTX 980 ti
7700 - GTX 980 ti (original reference cooler)
Other options not mentioned are cards where I've not a damned idea if it's reference or not, but generally leaning towards 'probably not'. Overall, I'm looking for one off of this list: link
