I think i will just RMA the card 

So u guys suggest i DIY based on youtube video clip? 

From the article, it seems like the first Radeons that supports this Adaptive-Sync is GCN 1.1 GPUs. That translates to 295X2, 290X, 290, 260X, and 260X only.

Hi all, I am looking to replace my GFX, currently using HD4890, anyone would like to suggest? My budget around RM600

Hi, wanna ask regarding R9 290.

Yesterday i bought a Sapphire Tri-X R9 290, from GPU-Z (0.7.8), i saw my boost core clock/mem clock is at 957Mhz and 1250Mhz.

I search internet, i found the clock speed and naming is rather confusing. Reference 290 is 947/1250, Tri-X have 2 version, Tri-X and Tri-X OC, both cooler are same and OC version is OC out of factory 1000/1300. However i never see someone who have Tri-X with same clock speed as me, which is 957/1250. Actually what's the different between both of it? Is OC version equipped with better binned chip?

Where did you buy your Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 from?
I don't think I've seen the non-OC SKU sold in Malaysia.. but that's just me. All the SKUs I've seen are the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 OC ones.

Can screenshot your gpu-z?

Anyway, for Sapphire Tri-X user, did you experience fan rattle noise at 50-60% fan speed? I google it seems like this is a common problem when the fan resonant at certain RPM and the shroud hit the heat sink aluminum fin...

Hmm. Any games. Fifa 14, and etc. I'm pretty sure it's GPU and not PSU. Cause the sound only comes under graphic loads.
Mine whine 24/7 during gaming or benchmarking

Few months left for warranty  Gonna try recording a video for you guys to verify

Yeah. But the sound only comes under high graphic loads.

hey all i'm gonna get myself a Powercolor R9 290 PCS+. the clock speed seems higher than sapphire tri-x as well as the cooling seems better. anyone any opinion against powercolor? thanks

where u buy from?

So if i flash BIOS, only one of the BIOS at one time will be flashed right?

Anyway, yesterday night just flash to Tri-X OC BIOS...extremely frightening...when i press program, the windows of Winflash shown 'not responding' and progress bar is stuck at beginning...after 3 minutes only pop up flash successfully...

I'm using 27" only and it's 1440p  . Crysis 3 graphics really 

Edit
Anyone OC on 1st day? . I did not heh. Also what's the normal temperature on load? Mine's 70C on full load. Not sure if it's good?

94C is really unacceptable honestly. The components will degrade really fast and the whole damn card got burnt. It's close to 100C.. you can boil eggs you know.

What settings for your OC? I may keep in mind so next time when i decide to OC i can try

“Some of you have expressed concerns around acoustics and temperature. As noted in our explanation of the new mechanisms included in PowerTune on the 290 Series, we have designed the 290 Series to operate at a steady state of 95C. By running at 95C, we are both maximizing the performance and minimizing the acoustics of the product. We do this by increasing clocks/voltages and/or reducing the fan speed until the GPU runs at the temperature target. By having the GPU target at lower temperature, you sacrifice either performance or acoustics.

Some of you have expressed concern over the GPU running at 95C. Be assured, that 95C is a perfectly safe temperature at which the GPU can operate for its entire life. There is no technical reason to reduce the target temperature below 95C. However, like all aspects of PowerTune, this is completely within the control of the end user. If you would rather have you GPU operate at a lower temperature, such as 85C or 73C, we strongly encourage you to customize it to your preference and write about it in your review. This is, after all, the reason that we design products with this level of flexibility.” – AMD PR

Looks like an ATX upgrade is imminent?

Considering my Vapor-X card has been going quite nicely... I think I'm fine with that.

sunyi jee

the stupid way to choose between which to get is ?

I ordered HD5830 from ipmart, the RM59 used one haha.
I'm going to replace the HD5670 on my sister's PC, can't wait for it to arrive.
I look back at the benchmarks, didn't noticed that HD5870 was released 5 years ago. Compare the performance to the high end GPU now is like night and day.

awww
I paid only RM81 so I don't really care much hahhah
Which GPU did you bought last time?
