oh yes... sweet Powercolor! i see my future cards... wish there white edition..

R7 260X is the commonly available on. Haven't seen any R7 260.

If you want cheap, just get a HD 7790 1GB OC. Works the same anyway.

man.. the R9 290 non reference looks so big.. bad luck for me for buying a new casing n stuff all without looking in here

hello,

Out curiosity what casing you using and measurement ? cause Sapphire Trix(3 fan, Giga R9 290 WindForce3, powercolor R9 290 (three fan) is measure 12.5 Tenth/33 Cm.

I don't think you will need that much... Even a quality 550W would do the trick...
Seasonic S12G/G-550 would do it just fine...

Unless you have a very cheap offer on that unit...

hmm my bad also.. i didnt really planned on what gpu to get.. so after purchasing all.. went scouting for some gpu then only realized the 500w antec wont be enough.. called them the very next day but they dont allow to change..

so no choice they only have 700w n 1000w ...

Ok... That unit is fine for that though...

thank you.. glad to knw that wasted too much already

I'll just wait for the R7 260 and see how it performs then. Thank for the help though

finally got display after i switch to acer ips panel...guys, may i know how to reduce the temp of r9 290 when playing games w/o any 3rd party solution?

Crank up the fan speed...
Maybe pakai headphones...

I think you are missing it out since the non-reference 290 has released...

i know its out, just that the price problem... erm, crank up fan speed using which software? or go bios change settings?

ASUS GPU Tweak
MSI Afterburner
Gigabyte oc guru
and......

if i keep on changing the gpu fan speed, will it do any damage to the gpu?

Never heard about this, what i know is your GPU may damage if keep running on high temperature

Which cooler master casing are you using?

i dont understand that bro.. u bought the best processor. great mobo. good rams. good ssd. but why a 'cheap' casing that dont suit your high end stuffs inside? now u cant even fit a custom 280x.. LOL
