@High end cards discussion: Personally, before going with 760SLI or the Mars one, I'd go with a R9 290 with an aftermarket cooler. Not only it will cost about the same as the 760 SLI (at least at newegg Asus DirectCU II) but will give similar performance and use less power and less troubles with the drivers.

It would be worth the minor price difference to go with the 290X, but only with custom cooling, the reference card design runs far too hot.
