There's already several reviews of the 8GB cards (e.g. http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/76685-sapphire-radeon-r9-290x-vapor-x-8gb/) that came out last week, they don't offer that much improvement unless you're doing 4k with multiple cards - and even then it isn't every game that benefits (see http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/zardon/sapphire-r9-290x-vapor-x-8gb-cf-review/13/).

My broke *** is perfectly happy with my 4gb card. Lol

Does AMD have any new cards coming down the pipe?

I imagine they do, but I haven't even seen/heard anything about them for a long time.

I was told by MSI that these would be Euro only (well at least MSI cards)... I like to see this though for those 4Kers that want their eye candy!
