Posted January 4, 2014 which do you think would be better to get ? i saw one review for the tri-x and the temps were at 73(during gameplay) and card had lower noise but would you think the asus one will give better results?

Posted January 4, 2014 Graph from this website http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Sapphire-Radeon-R9-290X-Tri-X-4GB-Graphics-Card-Review/Overclocking-and-Concl Their OCd performance is nearly the same, and their other features are probably pretty close as well (temps, noise, etc.). I own a 7850 from ASUS and a 7790 from Sapphire. I say they're both good companies that make solid products. In conclusion: the differences are small and either card is a great choice!

Posted January 4, 2014 Yep both are great and I don't think you'd regret not getting the other one. I would go for the Saphire because of the extra fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 4, 2014 They are both great choices. I would go with the one that you like/matches your build. Hello and Welcome to LTT Forum!

Posted January 4, 2014 I personally bought the Tri-X because the store I buy from said they weren't expecting the ASUS for a while. It's slightly quieter than the ASUS and cools/overclocks just as well so it seemed like a pretty solid choice when I knew they'd go out of stock very quickly. They're both very close though and either would be a good choice. (Yes these are the X versions but it still applies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
