Perhaps this will shed some light...

but maybe just Drive slowdown GTX 980 Sli... next Driver update hope fix it

290X or 290 bang agent botak 47? The former for my eyes..

Welp,maybe AMD will lower the consumption for 3xx series,no news on that sofar,though.

AMD's temporary solution to the 970/980.
Price cut for 290 and 290x can already be seen on Newegg/Amazon. You can get the aftermarket 290x for $400 and 290 for $300 now, with Never Settle bundle of course.

Cool stuff, any idea approximately when will the price cut reach here? Planning to get 2 of Sapphire's R9 290 Vapor-X (keeping fingers crossed hoping the price cut will affect this variant of the 290 as well, sub 400 USD is good enough).

No idea, you need to ask AMDmy.

Sell later then regret..

i think reason why AMD R9 290X is not the in CF congfi... they think R9 290X CF = R9 295X2

eh to late for me... i gone full throttle AMD R9 290X Cross..

i dont know man, im 99.9% sure in that benchmark its R9 295x2 = "the" R9 295x2

i think here in msia, its totally based on seller, if one go down...other will follow.
if none, well then fk.

oh later i upload score R9 290X oc VaporX CF

It seems 290/x crossfire still damn good

That is for 1 year old gpu already

eh that score were really sky high even for r9 290 CF .. and its only at stock clock wtf?? what cpu they are using? i7 5960x??

here are my score for comparison, (i7 4790k - 4.8ghz, r9 290 CF - 1170core, 1400 mem)

even if i oc my gpu to 1200 core, i dont think i can reach 1900 score in fire strike .. or my system got faulty aa?

Your score is definitely correct, mine also getting 17000++ when oc to 1200mhz, something wrong with the score from that benchmark
