What is a good Crossfire compatibel r9 290x?

[I/O]

They are all CF enabled. Get the one with good cooling.

sapphire vapor X

[Katsu-K1L]

All of them are Crossfire compatible, Get a Sapphire Tri-x/Vapor-x or MSI twinfrozr or Gigabyte Windforce, just not The Dcuii from asus cause it seems a lot of people had problems with it.

[Andrievski]

Whit Crossfire i meaned that it shouldn't take 3 slots.

sapphire vapor X

The PowerColor pcs+ has been proven many times to be equally good to the VaporX and cheaper and quieter.

EDIT: PowerColor pcs+ is three slots so don't use that

And what about the memory issues and black screens that alot of people are complaining about.

With the powercolor pcs.

I dont know if powercolor allready solved this issue.

 

But tilll now in my opinnion the vapor X is better at the moment.

i feel the most comfortable by recommending the Sapphires

 

The guy in this video talks about those issues with the powercolor pcs+

People leaving reviews on websites still complain about the same issues though. This is true as of this month.

explain how the whole first batch was faulty, and mine works completely fine. The same issues do not still exist. There is a small BIOS issue causing the BSOD which PowerColor has given out custom BIOSes that fixes all the problems.

Well judging by reviews on a few online shops over the past month they haven't managed to iron out every issue everyone is facing. Just because yours is fine doesn't mean everyone who bought one after you is having no issues with theirs. I do believe they are and have always been a vocal minority, but you really need to stop defending PC so much.

 

EDIT: I do however like the PCS+ design very much. So long as I can get one at a good price from a reputable seller (Amazon for instance) then I imagine I'll end up with one when I build in September.

Calm down

 

OT: The Vapor-X is the coolest, and that's quite important if you're going to crossfire.

Where did i said that?

 

I only mentioned the possible problems you "can" run into wenn going with the Power color PCS +.

Because there are still sellers who have the first batch in theire stocks.

 

Also if somebody says something negative "which i not even did" about something that you like, then everybody needs to STFU? 

 

Dude whats wrong with you?

And what about the memory issues and black screens that alot of people are complaining about.

That had little to do with powercolor, it was most of the time happening to cards with elpida vram only. http://www.overclock.net/t/1441349/290-290x-black-screen-poll/0_100

The video you linked, the dude told us about the issue of the vaporx has, making the shroud rattle because of the fans. Honestly the vaporx is freaking loud at idle but admirably quiet at full load. Gigabyte is like 20dBa quieter at idle and 2 dba louder at full load than the vaporx. The vaporx runs like 15° cooler. http://nl.hardware.info/reviews/5204/13/3x-amd-radeon-r9-290--2x-amd-radeon-r9-290x-review-asus-gigabyte-en-sapphire-geluidsproductie

I would rather take the reference and put an AIO on it, would be noticeably quieter and much better cooling performance - the difference is even bigger when you have two of them in SLI considering that the first gpu always runs like 10° warmer in CF than usual.
