r9 290 overclocking benchmarks?

[Phoenix70]

So to the r9 290 owners, can you send me what core clocks you got on the 290 at what voltage on air?? Linus's reference 290 got to 1090 mhz while his windforce to 1180 so that got me wondering.  Thank you   (also mention what card you have)

r9 290 tri x hynix, 1200mhz on core and 1570 on the memory.

Didn't touch voltages

I can get 1130mhz on the core with my MSI gaming card. I just max out the voltage and the power limit as i just use it for benchmarking.

max overclock for u 1130 mhz?

[Liam-McShane]

max overclock for u 1130 mhz?

I'm going to try for a bit higher now.

That's all i can get, any higher results in artifacts.

damn.. maybe a worse chip than the guy above

Defiantly, he has a golden chip. I think mine is pretty average, maybe just slightly above. I have seen quite a few 290's struggle to get past 1100mhz so it's not too bad.

most 290s are average to good overclockers so i guess you are fine

My reference board's max OC changes with the fan profile. running on the stock fan settings, max OC is around ~1085 (won't maintain 1085 after a few minuets and will throttle). However with an aggressive fan profile it can hit ~1150. My chip seems a bit unstable without an aggressive fan profile however, I believe that may be due to the Elpida memory I have running too hot.

 

What are you guys getting for memory OC's? I havent push mine past 1300 because I don't know what an average is...

Let me just say, I hate you. But, have you checked your ASIC quality, I want to see if it has any correlation with overclocks.

91%..idk what that means

Motherfucker you got a jackpot card. Mine's 76.9% and I paid extra for the Vapor-X.

Now that's a golden sample...

I got a 78.7% off an XFX Reference card... lulz

I got 77.3% on my Sapphire reference card, put an NZXT G10 and a Corsair H55 on it, it now runs comfortably at 1200/1680 with 20% Power Limit and +200mV

I honestly think people should take ASIC quality with a grain of salt. Even the editor at HardwareCanucks says it bullshit.

I almost always completely ignore it, A 20% overclock for a card with that ASIC is surprising. I always just push the card and keep adding more voltage if it artifacts, once it no longer stops artifacting, I drop it down ~10-20MHz. Mine would only go to 1200/1680 for long term clocks.
