if benq what model u recon? and side question, erm will there be any difference in output display if i connect to the vga cable of the monitor or the hdmi of the monitor?? will the hdmi display higher dpi or something like that?

ah.. i guess so.. (bro i just found out AMD make awesome G,card 1 month+ ago :Plol)

i really don't dare to recommenced you certain model as i afraid display would be gone.. again , why don't you just get LCD/monitor that show display when you tested at shop you purchase desktop? and go Hdmi connection..

x
but samsung s24b350 i read the spec.. is a good lcd.. wonder why g,cards have problem with it.. my humble(low budget) BenQ VW2230 easy plug&play... with Hdmi.. (reason i use this lcd is color WHITE )

i dono... thats why i found the shop reason kinda weird... don tell me the gpu hdmi port is faulty

But before that u already mentioned the shop test with your GPU hdmi hook up with their monitor no problem, probably is your monitor HDMI port spoil

bro may i know what shop name? where? and u purchase Desktop and LCD same shop?

lingloong updated with the tri-x 290x/290!!!

Time to withdraw money

No wonder lingloong was slashing the price for the reference R9 290X.... R9 290X Tri-X for a mere RM2250.
Insane price vs performance from AMD this time.


ADD: Btw, DmC (Devil May Cry) makes a very nice stress test game lol. My max VDDC Power Out hits circa 160W, higher than me playing Crysis 3. VRM temp 1 stayed around 85C then.

but tri-x version sapphire didn't custom the pcb right? they use the reference pcb and put on their own tri-x cooler

still noise/ temp is better oh plus oc also improve... gosh never satisfy you guys init?? bye bye gtx 780 Ti.. lol

You're right. Only the cooler is customized, while the PCB is still reference AMD.

Not too sure though, you'd need to check out some reviews for that. Am at work at the moment so can't quite read up review sites.
EDIT: ^^^ Nah, rav3n82 replied you liao.

I think it's a good choice for those do not want to void their card's warranty, while having a superb performance-proven Tri-X cooler, at a very decent price.

Still... Honestly, no backplate bugs me a little. Then again.... PCBs are pretty solid stuff, just me being paranoid I guess.

There was nothing wrong with the default PCB, AMD just effed up the cooler

Some additional reviews:

Looks like green team is still stubborn for another price cut despite the release of non-ref 290s.

when they hook up wiv their samsung monitor = no display.. but when they hook up wiv their samsung hdtv = got display... they oso tried hook up with acer monitor dvi = got display..

im living in east msia, got sometimes the brand are limited... erm, i m opting for the acer v246hy.. is it ok though it has no hdmi? if use dvi, will the quality close to hdmi?

yes should be same equal, just HDMI audio/visual is HD meanwhile D-vi is just visual.. (correct me if wrong la..)

ow.. so dvi image quality same as hdmi just w/o audio riight? is that what u say?
