290x reference cooler

so i found  a used amd 290x reference coller for 330usd vs 300euros  but its the reference coller so i am not so sure about the prize what do you think people should i buy it

$330 for that is trash, you can buy a binned 970 that'll wipe the floor with the 290x. (hint hint)

reference cooler works fine its just so loud i'd recommend just buying a jet turbine to power your pc instead

But really though. $330 is a bit much for such an old card. I would negotiate lower or keep looking.

It's not worth it at that price point

the 290X beats out the 780 by a bit but it's cooling and noise will likely be better.
