Got fan rattle issue? Try increase fan speed >60% and see.

Based on the same chip, but it is 5% faster than HD 7870.

Model ni tak keluar lagi kut.

Sceptical on Sapphire tri-fan models already.

The normal edition (reference) costs around RM2499 or so, if not mistaken. It is loud, runs hot and you may face some throttling issues when the temperature target is reached. DCUII basically fixes all of the issue with the reference card, and according to Techpowerup, it is their favorite non-reference rendition of the 290X.

A local shop in my place still has a unit of Asus R9 290X reference.

Asus, you know la. I think can try Sapphire or even Powercolor (if still have stock).

And yes from Penang.

You also from Penang? Come la, can try the new bridge.

Last time my Asus 290 reference was with Elpida memory. In KL, cannot find anymore reference 290X?

Article mentioned only available in Greater China. Doubt it would be available here.

Probably a higher clocked Hawaii XT GPU. Same like what AMD did last time for HD 7970 (925 MHz) and HD 7970 GHz Edition (up to 1050 MHz).

This of course is assuming that there is no typo error. They could well mean R9 295X2.

Do you mean the lowest end card that don't need additional 6-pin connector (from PSU) to power it up?

Pertaining to your question, that current card would be R7 250X (rebranded from HD 7770).

For a brand new card, I would recommend GTX 760. A nice option would be Gainward GTX 760 Phantom, RM845 (lingloong@Garage Sales).

Got any source bro?

I think he has his eyes set on 780 Ti already.

LOL, go go go with 780 Ti, fastest single GPU out there. My only reservations with the Tri-X style cooler is the fan rattling issue, hopefully it doesn't affect this model.

I think you can just stick with Quiet mode, since the recorded temp is 76C only, compared to 6x ++ on Uber. Of course remember to add in +/- 10C due to our hot weather.

Mine is 780 AMP! only. But it is actually very similar with the 780 Ti AMP!, so I will share what I know. Temps are ok, idle at 38C, load temp 80C (probably due to the temperature target). Fans are generally quiet, I do not notice it any significantly louder than my casing fans. I have 3 Bitfenix Spectres + 1 Corsair AF120 running, all are dead silent ones. But compared to the Asus 760 DCUII OC that I had previously, I consider the Zotac AMP! slightly louder at load. I personally find it to be as loud as my 290 Tri-X at load.

Overall performance is ok, my base clock speed is 1006MHz, max boost clock speed observed is 1163MHz (all running at stock speeds, no manual OC). Did a simple comparison with my 290 Tri-X, my 780 AMP! is up to 16% faster averagely. I have no idea why there is such a big gap in terms of % difference. Perhaps due to the latest Nvidia driver that claims to improve a number of games' performance.

The only person that brings in Powercolor is feiton.

Habis, satu lagi poison for you.

Oh, it's dual core. I thought it's just a unique customized R9 290X, same like some of the previous Devil series. Missed out the "dual core" wording.

The ugly shuriken like fans must have been capable of very high CFM and hopefully, low noise.

You mean 100mm fans? LOL, 10mm a tad too small.

LOL, won't la. Perhaps it will be 0 to 100. Good luck!
