QUOTE(GKilla @ Nov 10 2013, 01:17 PM) Hi guys The R9-290 at its price point is definitely a good card to have. Yup the card do runs hot and it's pretty noisy at full load. Though it's a significant upgrade from your 560ti and the driver right now is pretty stable. Plus the 4GB of vram should be gold if you wanna play with a multi monitor setup.Need your expert advice. I was planning to get r9 290 non X but I came across these reviews. I got worried that it doesn't perform well. I need your opinion on this. I used to use 560 ti but due to their terrible driver and the card problem, I'm planning to change to AMD card. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon...hmark,3659.html http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/170542-a...is-heavy-handed Thanks guys |

QUOTE(eugene88 @ Nov 11 2013, 12:34 AM) Do I need to get extra fans for my Bitfenix Merc Alpha for Sapphire 7870XT? Yup , the Merc Alpha if i'm not mistaken is a mid tower case right.? Definitely needs at least more than two fans as the card runs quite hot under load. I had personal experience running two fans with my old CM 343 Elite and the card ran very hot. Currently only has one casing fan At least put two fans at the top side just to make it run cooler |

QUOTE(warlock89 @ Nov 12 2013, 03:28 PM) guys, i got a noob question to ask .. R9-290, it's a bit hot but it's supposed to run that way in order to maximised its performance. Make sure you have a case with good airflow and you're set.I'm having some difficulties in deciding to buy a R9-280X toxic and a R9-290 . . My budget can cover but still based on performance vs money . . if buying the R9-290, which brand should go? i heard current R9-290 is quite boiling running at full load . . ![]() slightly faster than the gtx 780 The cheapest I saw is Gigabyte R9-290 which is around RM1449. Can look at the garage sales just to confirm |

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Dec 25 2013, 08:10 PM) 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. agree on that QUOTE(bingding @ Dec 25 2013, 08:17 PM) 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. 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. |
