3K is rather expensive for a flagship card..

My name is Minecrafter!!
Freaking Sony and Microsoft,i like The Last of Us and Forza Horizon,but only for the consoles each..

Whenever i see it on the youtube = 

Console..already burned money for PC so,a no-no.

Man,this thread has been getting a lot of off-topic posts the past 2 pages. Better stop it.

Upon further testing, the new driver is another keeper for me.

I had trouble with AC:Unity after switching to 290x where the GPU usage won't go over 90% and average FPS only around 40s which is similar to my old 7950.
I did a clean driver install twice and that didn't fix it but this 15.3 driver almost fix the problem. Now my GPU usage is >90% most of the times and average FPS improve to 60-ish(50-ish on super crowded area).



Another noticeable improvement is for Project Cars. Now GPU usage also >90% where previously hover around 45%-60%.

I thought that only happen to CRT monitor. 

why dont buy reference ? to me reference looks better for my taste

soo any idea which is which ??
I try furmark for 1 hour with max settings without prob ! is this enuf to proof this card is stable ?

is it like a quick flash deal? that is crazy price/performance value.
temp was good but those graph doesn't look nice, what update rate did you set for afterburner?

the catch is only 1 year warranty as told by the seller

for a new R9 290 at this price it's a good buy at least in my opinion

new card bro?

rm780 for me no complain as still have 1 yr warranty left !! mine running nicely at 1.1ghz 6ghz mem !! jz the fan abit noisy thou

Now i start to think it's an ex-miner cards. Doesn't matter much if it perform like it should and still have factory warranty.

Hey guys, im planning to upgrade  to r9 280 (dual x OC) or maybe 280x tri-x one from sappire hd 7850 (dual x OC). The 7850 came out ages ago. And i think i shgould upgrade it since the r9's has good specs compared to 7850.
Would like to know if I should wait for newer cards or buy the r9 series now.
Im just asking opinion here, hope its alright .

can't wait to get my r290 tri-x today!!
thxs to the forumer that share the link here.

now, my psu should be able to handle CF with OC right? search google and found 1 that is having the same setup with mine - CPU OC to 4.4 & CF 290.

i think it will hit the max load the psu that can dish out

of course.  
did you oc your card ady? i'm going to crank it tonight. juz receive it from postmen. 
the seller is banyak efficient in replying my msg as well. deal done in less than 10min of whatsapp.

initially thought getting the dcu ii version from GS @ rm850 only. but after reading review, the heatsink sucks due to the pipe only have contact with 3 pipes instead of all 5.

Is that manual fan speed? 60% is quite loud imo. My card usually ran around 30+% fan speed around 72C.

Tri-X can run fine at 80-82 C. At 81 C the auto fan speed will be set at 50-56%

50% fan speed is the speed that is slightly louder than my case fans.

What case are you using?
I used small case last time with bad circulation but I have aircon so it wasn't a problem then haha.

I think your PC case is good enough for the card.

I was using Silverstone PS-08, a lot smaller lol. It can survive in air cond room but not in normal room haha.
