MSI R9 290X Gaming

The R9 290x Gaming has been spotted and it is a shocker it looks like all the other MSI gaming cards. I want to see what the lighting looks like. I really hope that these cards are launch soon.

Well, we at least have a 290X with an aftermarket cooler on it.

For everyone who's not willing to water cool their GPU for the very best performance and temperatures.

This card does make a lot more sense than everything we've seen before, but it'll obviously still run at 95° C by default.

This does mean that you'll be able to get better performance out of it.

These coolers are going to have to run there fans so low at even load to let the GPU hit it's design of 95C, But it will be so much quieter, I don't know about better performance though, more like same performance, half the volume.
