never used XFX cards, but it looks to be a reference design with a higher clocked bios an possibly a sprinkle of vcore

the matrix and Lightning will be ready for prime time I am guessing

but there are dogs and hot rods in any cards as usual I would suspect

hey lakeside, hope all is well, stop by more offtend bro

If you are talking gaming then I would say no, jump on two reference boards, get what you can out of them for 24'7 and start wasting dudes now with max eyecandy ............

For boints though, yes I think it is worth waiting or grab one bench it for early globals and get rid of it fast in preperations for the the cards aimed at cold benching as they will eventually take the top spots
