Re: Artic islands

silly question, but are the future chips going to be merely die shrinks, or are they coupling that with a new architecture? im assuming both.

edit: i think that's where "hopefully" comes into play in terms of the die shrink (from article).

Re: Go for budget or go for broke gpu?

The stock blower on the Radeon R9-290 runs harder/louder than on the Radeon HD7970. If you didn't like the stock blower there, you would hate it on the larger and more power-hungry GPU. The reference blower on the GeForce GTX 980Ti is also louder than the HD7970, but not quite as annoying as the R9...
