Expect a hell of an overclock from this buddy. If you don't know what toxic series is, go check out Anandtech's review of 280X Toxic. It seriously blows everything else out of the water.

 

To be expected: extreme performance, 80°C, extremely loud.

 

Cooling is especially important in the R9 290 series because performance is capped by the system as the GPU temperature reaches higher levels. Therefore, by providing better cooling, maximum performance levels can be raised. SAPPHIRE has also tailored the fan speed profiles on the Tri-X models to a transitional linear mode which the company believes achieves the best sustainable performance with lower GPU temperatures. Internal testing has shown the Tri-X cooler can achieve operating temperatures much lower than the reference design.
