  1. i meant when someone want to decide buy a gpu reading reviews is 1st but with reviews like that it makes me scared
  2. literally every site says something about the gigabyte r9 290 oc http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-133-GI&tool=3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125500 http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-4GB-2xDVI-Graphics-GV-R929OC-4GD/dp/B00HS84DFU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396894921&sr=8-1&keywords=gigabyte+r9+290 who the hell should someone believe? for 1 youtube reviewers obviously cant be trusted since they get a fully functional obviously tested gpu

    op is that you?
  8. well i want the card for just 2 years or 1.5 years and wanna max out everything i will be getting a 1080p monitor probably ips and overclock it to 80hz or sommething is that hthe better choice?
  9. so im stuck choosing to get the saphhire r9 290 tri-x and get myself a new monitor cuz i currently have a 1440x900 lcd monitor with only vga in it OR gigabyte r9 280x rev 2 and an ssd and maybe a nice mouse or keyboard gigabyte card cost $360 here and the saphhire cost $535 i will ditch the whole maxwell architecture since it looks t be around dx12 which is bleh since dx12 games are coming out late 2015 and maybe get pascall ?
  10. I DECIDED I WILL GET THE GIGABYTE R9 280X or the asus r9 280x dc2 top
  11. but if I got the 290 there will be a 200mm fan blowing yummy air right at it
  12. so it just was a batch?The r9 290 tri x has a reference pcb
  13. maxwell is close and im sick of waiting
  14. this: INCONSISTENT CLOCKS. Yes the rumors are true, chart readings in MSI afterburner are all over the place. some reviews 1HOT. This is my main complaint. I've spent hours in MSI Afterburner trying to set a fan curve that will cool this thing down only to have my thoughts drowned out by noise. This card runs HOT, at stock clocks and my (6) case fans set on full blast my card idles at 45-50 degrees celsius (ambient temp is usually 68-70 fahrenheit), This card runs HOT. While benchmarking Heaven and Valley side by side I reached 80 degrees celsius after only 10 minutes or so. 2 Defective 3 just sent my Rma request in, getting a whining noise from the middle fan at certain fan speeds, 4 flickering and artifacting on the desktop and in games. There have also been subsequent blackscreens since the first one. 5 Screws on back of card that hold heat sink/fan to the card stick out far enough to where they hit fan blades on the 2nd matching card I ordered. This may have destroyed my 2nd card these reviews are scaring the crap out of me
  15. currently these are the available gpu's to me http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125500 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202080 both with its own set of bad reviews etc and then comes this sort of solid http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125490 sort of better reviews warranty and rma is out of question cuz i cant use them dont ask why what to get?
  16. any room for OC'ing?
  17. i have this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153172 and i was wondering if it is enough for the saphhire r9 290 toxic thanks btw i have the following gigabyte z77-d3h 3570k stock 1 hdd and currently 2x200mm fans and 1x120mm fan and i wanna get another 2x200mm fans and an ssd so will all that be enough ?
