what is the differenc between this graphics card and the Sapphire R9 290X 4GB GDDR5 DUAL DVI-D/HDMI/DP TRI-X OC Version PCI-Express Graphics Card

A vapor chamber which knocks about 5c on average off the temps as compared to a standard Tri-X at the expense of half a slot (2.5 PCI slot width). Also, it has better chokes and caps and an 8 phase power delivery (as opposed to 5+1+1 on standard Tri-x) plus a back plate to keep it cooler. Pick this if you want cooler/quieter operation and have the space.

In this case I'd say 780 To is the fastest overall. The r9 290x is second and 780 lightning comes last. However just keep in mind that all 3 are more than capable of handling anything being thrown at them at 1080p. Also the r9 290x will handle higher resolutions better overall dye to its higher vram

Your card is decent, but this card has a lot more qualities. New R9's 290x's have been released.

When I got this, it was on sale with a different GPU. My is a AMD HD 7570. But the default is the GTX 630.

The 290x has more cores and a little higher clock speed. I'm sure the 290 can run WoW just fine. I play WoW and I keep my settings on "low" because I want more FPS than having the environment look pretty. I'm currently getting 200fps in dungeons and about 100fps in Warspear. If you really want to see a difference, the monitor is the biggest upgrade. Most monitors are capped at 60hz which means your gc will be running at 100fps, but your monitor can only display 60fps. I recently got the BenQ 144hz gaming monitor and I can see a HUGE difference over my old 60hz one. I'm actually seeing 144fps since my monitor can now display the framerate that my gc can push. 60hz monitor and 200fps graphic card == 60fps that you can see. 120hz/144hz monitor and 200fps graphic card == 120/144fps that you can see. Your monitor plays a big role.

According to Sapphire's website for this SKU it IS in fact UEFI, in fact all their R9-290 products are listed as UEFI ready. I have the original NON-OC'd edition that has the very tiny slider switch on the top edge of the PCB. That being said all Sapphire cards are based on AMD reference designs, so all should have the BIOS switch (which by the way has nothing to do with UEFI, but rather fan speed and gpu timing. If you are worried about compatibility, you can find vga bios depositories that have the very latest bios roms that can be flashed (at your own risk). This particular sku is the latest version.

All PCI-E 3.0 cards are backwards compatible, it may slow down the performance of the card slightly but not big enough unless you plan to crossfire two 290/x's

They are not the same card. This is the fully factory over clocked running at a clock of 1080Mhz and men at 5600Mhz. The other card has slower clocks. The clocks are higher because the chokes are better, and the chips were binned higher on this card. Check the serials if you want to confirm this. The OC potential is thus higher on this card.

For me, the important difference is that this card has 2GB of memory while the one I purchased has 4GB of memory. I'm a 3d-art hobbyist and use an unbiased-renderer that depends on the GPU. I can build a scene using the 4GB card with a complexity that requires twice the memory of the 2GB card. This makes a big difference for me. Gigabyte is a solid brand, they feature a well designed heat sink. I'm extremely happy with my purchase of the GTX760 4GB card.

They are both basically the same card, but EVGA usually has a tendency to make very high quality NVidia cards. One system I made has this card installed in it and another one has the EVGA one in it and this one is a bit louder once the fans hit a certain RPM threshold. Neither card came with any cables that I can remember minus PSU convertors and DVI to VGA adapter.

The card is the length of a PCI Express 16 slot and utilizes a full height mounting bracket (VGA, DVI and HDMI connectors on a single bracket). That defines the card's physical dimensions. The card comes with GPU Tweak software that permits throttling the card in normal use or pumping the card while gaming. I'm using the card normally on a desktop with 350-watt PSU; the card runs cool. You must realize that installing this card will void your Dell computer's "100% Made In The USA" implied warranty.

Keep it, there is no difference, you will be very happy with the performance od this card

Dual-Link DVIEquipped with the most popular Dual Link DVI (Digital Visual Interface), this card is able to display ultra high resolutions of up to 2560 x 1600 at 60Hz.

I asked Amazon and this was their response: looked up the AX51-9300BK and found the video graphics card is 1.5GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX I'm assuming it's the GTX660. If not then I'm going to return it too because the product information is confusing listing different model cards for the same item. They don't know when it will be in stock either, could be 5 days, could be a month.

You can use any graphics card that is PCI-Express compatible. The choice of which card to get is entirely yours. It depends on how much you want to spend and what you intend to do with it. I use my system primarily for gaming so I use:Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB DDR5 HDMI / DVI-I / Dual Mini DP with Boost PCI-Express Graphics Card 11196-16-20GBut the choice is all yours. Hope this helps, and good luck!

I have one of these and the graphics card I use requires PCI Express 3.0 so I guess the answer's yes. It's a VisionTek Radeon HD 7750 SFF (Mfr#900549) which I chose because Dell recommended it. You can go to Dell.com and see what they suggest to get an idea of what you can add.

The other difference would be that it comes with a factory overclock. I can't remember exactly what the difference is, but this model, because of the stock overclock and the ability to overclock due to the upgraded cooler, performs closer to the GTX Titan than it does to the stock 780. I have mine clocked at 1200 MHz, which is something like 350 MHz faster than the stock 780. IMO, it's worth the price difference. Plus, I've had EVGA cards in the past, and they have all performed really well.
