Darth Vader is a Red Camp! and Trix some more...

Never had a steady AMD card since HD 4890. Time to rekindle the old flames, after all my first ever gaming graphic card was AMD also.

wow since u said first Gpu is AMD u sure not Ati meh ? cause my first Gpu is also Ati Rage 2 MB!!(year 1999) and second Gaming Gpu Ati Radeon 9600M Pro 128MB!!(year 2004 notebook)

Sorry, yes last time known as ATI. Mine not that long ago like yours. I can't recall fully, but I think it was a X300. With HyperMemory to 512MB (hijack your system's RAM).

ah yes hyperMemory is Notebook right? hmm 2005-2007

No, discrete card got that technology. Nvidia's one is TurboCache IINM.

sorry, what you mean ? i thought Hypermemory is old tech that use by Ati to use system memory ? e.g. http://www.amd.com/tw/products/notebook/ch...s-1100-amd.aspx

sorry dun understand..

come la, join the dark side, oc ur card

bro told u every card has different asic

haha why end sentence i say lucky budha like me... but my seller say.. they say lah.. Powercolor and Sapphire higher Chance got high ASIC %... kinda make sense, My previous card Powercolor R9 290X got 71+ % meanwhile my sapphire R9 290X got 73+%...

what u doin Encourage ppl to OC their lovely cards.. hiyaa! u nih... (i like seat top feel each time i fart everyone smell it ) joke!

nay, silicon lottery smiles upon u, some of the 780 lightning has asic 80% hitting 1400 mhz

if not whats called the *dark side*, offer u chance to change gpu come join me to torture ur beloved card

HyperMemory is a passive feature on some lower end cards that allows the GPU to utilize your system's RAM. They typically have a small VRAM strapped to the card, but will hijack system RAM should the need arises. This feature is also available to discrete graphic cards. To date, some cards like HD 6670 (Sapphire) still has this HyperMemory feature.

haha thX info.. i still prefer u give me hyperlink show google site lol joke

haha same as me

muh first card was the ATi Radeon X300, in some Dell prebuilt

lasted darn long as well, 6 years

R9 290 Tri-X OC



High ASIC card but can't do 1250/1255 on the core, artifact. 1200 core works great, need to see what is the max between 1200-1250 incrementally.

Memory no sweat on 1500.

Ah...I remember the good old ATI X200 in some HP prebuilt, was able to play COD Modern Warface, but lag like banana.

P/S: I'm still using that PC though, as backup PC

that good! i think sweet spot for my TriX is core 1,225 and mem 1,300 and OffsetVolt 200 (use Sapphire TriXx OC)

Leaderboards updated

Sorry for the late update, just installed Windows 8.1, not really use to the metro mumbo jumbo.

Anyway, I managed to OC a wee bit:

1195/1625, will post the CPU-Z SS tomorrow.

Cheers

This is really some excellent scores. Your OC at stock voltage?

Nope bro, don't think stock voltage will allow 1200/1500

voltage offset and power limit sliders to full in Sapphire Trixx utility.

Nice info, thanks! Btw, what are the max temps you're getting (with / without OC)? Do you use custom fan profile?

I am getting roughly max 79 - 81C at default fan profile (auto), ambient roughly ~ 30C. I noticed the Tri-X dumps a lot of thermal waste (heat) back into the casing. CPU temps all also go up. Too bad the R9 290 blower (aka reference cooler) really sucks, else it would have served a much better purpose, especially if our casing don't have good airflow.
