    Tacitus got a reaction from brob in Streacom DA2 build   
    Thanks - I did look at it, but I didn't feel I was getting a lot more performance for the extra £100 or so it would have cost.

    Does the cooler not come with a Y adapter to plug them both into the same fan connector?

    You could use a program such as Display Fusion Pro to do this.

    Tacitus got a reaction from BruceZGamesGR in About Graphics card.& my build   
    Exactly.
     
    It'll be a great card, and I'm sure you'll love it.

    You're welcome.
    As someone with 2 290xs in my system I'd make sure of the following before you think about that:-
     
    Noise - the fans spin up fast
    Heat - if your room isn't well ventilated have fun sweating it out
    Climate - I live in Scotland, where it is cold. Always. I dread to think what that would be like in Greece. Opposite ends of Europe, my friend.
    Power - you'll need a good PSU.

    Hope it works out for you (I know how much of a pain it can be as a crossfire user).

    Tacitus reacted to comicsansms in How's the 290x holding up these days?   
    RX 480 is in between the R9 390 and GTX 970.
    The R9 390x is a slightly beefed up R9 290x,
    The R9 290x is about the same as a R9 390.
     
    None of them are "Upgrades" or worth while upgrades from a R9 290x.

    Tacitus got a reaction from Mikjul in Required PSU Wattage for R9 290   
    Your PSU is fine. Even a good 500W PSU would do. If you were to crossfire then a 750W would be necessary, but they say you need that just in case you're using a bad PSU to cover their own ass.

    No way! No gaming is a proper sport and neither is Chess IMO.
     
    A sport to me is for promotion of physical activity not shitbuckets and doritos

    Tacitus got a reaction from PineappleHolidays in GTX 970 vs R9 390 w/ 500w psu?   
    500W is plenty.
    My 2 over clocked 290xs and 4670k use less than 700W from the wall, which means the system is using even less.

    Tacitus got a reaction from alhot11 in Asus r9 290x and Seasonic S12II Bronze 620w   
    He has a 620W PSU. It's not the GPU using too much power. I run 290x crossfire on a 750W PSU without issue. I bought a wall power measuring thing, and the entire system has never hit 700W from the wall.
