asus vs sapphire

[kingking]

hello guys ... i just want opinion ...

 

Asus R9 290 290 DC2 OC vs Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 OC , which one is better ... ???

i using i5 and z97 gaming 3 board ....

the sapphire is clocked a bit higher from factory. but you can overclock both still. everything else is the same pretty much.

 

decide on looks and price.

 

of course both will fit in nice in your system. I hope you have a decent PSU.

Sapphire. It keeps card really cool and runs really quietly. The Asus is the worst of the aftermarket coolers for it. If colours matter that much then get the MSI TF 290.

my psu 750w .... so this two is no different ??? btw , is Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 oc is still same with those two ???

[gasho]

gigabyte is still the same. however the sapphire comes with the highest factory OC. all these are very respectable brands.

 

I guess look at the looks of the cards. If you are into that stuff.

 

PS what brand is the PSU ?

the sapphire 290... It is the coolest, and with good airflow that increases even more

If I remember correctly the Asus cooler had a few problems with the R9 290(x). Their direct CU2 cooler is usually very good, but there seems to be a problem with that specific card. The sapphire tri-x is really good and the factory overclock is also a bit higher, so I'd go for that one.

Also, did the prices for AMD GPUs drop suddenly? The sapphire 290 with the tri-x cooler is 350€ here, which is pretty amazing.
