x
any Gov servant here ? cause i don't get bonus this month.. hope next month ;(

mining sounds like rough people wan... ""distributed computing"" sounds better..

yeah already taken 2nd card out.. (wanted to try 3 PCI-E slot Mobo.. ) but doest work at heavy loads.. middle card temp was going up to 90 (then trying this layout)... so had to shut it down run 2 card.

lol thought 2nd card in middle wont be a probelm untill open up afterburner.. looking x1 to x16 riser but local market seem unavailble.. 2 card also quite hot 80+

just saw a 7950 being sell for 599 usd at amazon , dayum this mining craze hopefully won't reach here/

Only in NA, i don't think got crazy enough people bundling a dozen or 2 for mining here in Malaysia, not really that profitable especially when new electric tariff gonna start next year.

guys, sorry to ask but i received the bf4 game coupon when i bought r9 290. may i know can i sell this coupon and how much can i sell it? i don play bf4.

agree on that


U can scratch the coupon to get the code and activate it origin. The price depends on how much u wanna sell it. Try and survey in gaming section to see how much they sell the digital version.

Gigabyte windforce R9 290X & 290 already available on Newegg

Hi,

Did anyone water cooled their R9 290/290X shared their temp here yet?

according to linustechtips.. watercooled r9 290 perform 2% lower than watercooled gtx780

what i wanna say here is.. for those who havent buy r9 its better to wait for custom versions!!

Anybody use molex to 8pin pcie before? Can support?

The thing is, he overvolted the 780 but not the 290.

wow!! once sapphire 290 tri-x is being oced its only par with 780Ti

oops my bad.. did he mentioned that he overvolted the 780?

It's in the spreadsheet, he use EVGA Precision and overvolted it to 1.212v, max allow by Nvidia and use Catalyst Control Center to overclocked the 290 without overvolted it.

can see he is very very bias this time gtx700 vs amd Rs

Can't really blame him, unlike AMD, Nvidia has been treating him really really good.

Does any sifu know when tat R7 260 gonna release?
