R9 290X Owners Thread

[strid1]

Hi. Are people's BF4 codes now working? I know there were a few who reported problems before/at the start of the week. I've entered my code as instructed but it tells me that the origin code is 'Currently Not Available'. Thought it should work and I would be able to pre-load at this stage Anyone else getting the same message?

I wanna get 290x CF to replace my 670SLI will my [email protected] be holding them back. My monitor is 1440p so not exactly a small screen.

Don't suppose you have Battlefield 4 do you?

I prob sound stupid but I'm new to these forums so here goes, are we allowed to give other vendor details as overclockers sell them too ?

Ordered directly from EK last week

I ordered mine yesterday from a UK vendor, out for delivered today.

EK's shipping is so expensive, they need to get real.

 

[Orangey]

Are you serious? lol. YOU need to get real.

35 quid for a small piece of metal?

 

[Besty]

I bought direct from EK for my last set of blocks, I will be buying my next set from OCUK as they are miles cheaper.

35 quid for a small piece of metal?

The shipping is literally ONE DAY. I paid for DHL Express shipping 40-50 dollars or something. Couldnt be happier because when EK got it out of their place and DHL got a hold of it, it took one day for me to get it. Thats from Slovenia to Norway in ONE DAY.

If you're paying 185 dollars for a backplate and block, who cares if you put a little extra in to shipping? People need to stop being such cheapasses.

lol

 

[Rangerjr1]

For reference: It took Fedex 12 days from wales to norway. Which is pathetic, and i paid about the same for shipping. Maybe a little less.

I ordered some sammy green ram from the us via us first class mail. Took exactly two weeks to get here.

Sorry i just wanted to add something to the shipping discussion.

I got mine at From UK vendor yesterday, back plate and full N+A. Waiting on post man now

 

[Martini1991]

People need to stop paying over the top for things because the rest of us are getting railed because of it.

35 quid delivery is ridiculous.

 

[Kanoe]

Is the fact that my mem clocks are "stuck" at max at all times a fault and therefore a RMA or is there something you can do to correct it?

I dont have GPU-Z, afterburner or anything else open on desktop, overclocking disabled in CCC etc and its 1250 all the time. Tried fresh installs of Windows and Beta 3, Beta 7 and Beta 8 drivers and still it wont move.

Is this something that could be fixed by a future driver update or is it a hardware issue?
