None for now but I think it's going to be the R9 380X in the future ...

So you are one of those that believe that the 380X will be as fast as the 980? Then what about the 390X?

@Sentient_Nebula: What they heck are you talking about? The 295X2 smokes the 980 is most situations and it's been available for a lot less than $1,000 for a long time. And with its closed liquid cooling it's also cooler than a 980. But you're absolutely right when it comes to power consumption.

LOL. Yeah, I'm not thinking too clearly tonight. Had a long week. I usually don't like to edit my posts though, as I feel that can cause me to try to deny things I said. (I like to keep the truth in place). I usually just use edits to fix spelling or grammer errors.

I checked a benchmark to verify what I said just then, but looking at it again, I noticed they were running a 295X2 vs SLI 780tis (With the 780ti being similar in performance to the 980). So yeah, a 295X2 is similar in performance to SLI 980s, not just a single 980.
