is Gigabyte R9 290 Windforce 4GB is a good buy ? i got it at around RM480 (160sgd).
and is 550w true power enough to power it up? This post has been edited by fcuk90: Jan 30 2017, 11:54 PM |

QUOTE(iguana_dude_619 @ Feb 1 2017, 11:04 AM) for rm500? not bad. R9 290 same level with RX470 I think. which price at rm800-900ish new. Yes. R9 280 going at 135sgd, r9 290 at 160sgd. Is the difference huge? I contemplating whether want to get cheaper card, but the pricing gap is very minimal, i will be gaming at 1920 la. Rx470 going 900++ if not wrong. |

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Feb 11 2017, 01:58 PM) Depend on what games you'll be playing mostly and if the cooling performance is better. Mine is r9 290 windforce. Let see if I able to swap for the palit gtx970.What artifacts? Only applicable to Polaris, previous gen Asus graphic for AMD cards is pretty shitty especially on higher end model. Want to cut down electric bill. |

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Feb 11 2017, 10:11 PM) Reference Palit? If it's the Jetstream, go for it. If the lower end or reference i think your Windforce perform better. The Jetstream.lol, what is your average game time per week or month? I went from 180w-200w 290x to 250w-280w 980 Ti and i didn't notice any significant changes in electric bills Only change the voltage so technically it's not overclocking.  But then if there is no taker / I need topup a lot. I will cancel the plan. |
