What do you guys think? Everyone on these forums seems to be really excited about the 290x but I am not that impressed. I think the progress of graphics on PC has been hindered by consoles over the last decade. The new console generation... the graphics cores in terms of teraflops is similar to a HD 7790 albeit with a lot more memory available. The 290x is hardly a new generation of video cards they are just finally matching the Titan or 780's performance. Please don't bash this is just a theoretical question.
