Michael was kind enough to snag this card up for me (thank you!) as a replacement / side upgrade for my R9 290. I will continue to use both cards because I have two systems running, one of them using the R9 (Windows) and one of them currently using Skylake integrated (Linux. More details on my setup coming in a future article). This will let me test games under either system, as well as testing out games using both the AMD FOSS stack and the Nvidia closed source stack.
Additionally, beyond the better power usage, having an Nvidia card lets me test the upcoming improvements to Nvidia support under Fedora, my preferred distro.
