Looking for R9 with Hynix memory

[Empathic]

Hi all,

As per title, I am looking for an R9 gpu which has Hynix memory - for mining.

Are these out yet? I have looked on the market but no one mentions it - is it luck of the draw or aren't they out yet? I have heard it overclocks a lot better for mining.

Many thanks

Scroll down to Gibbos review of the sapphire 290x

As above, Sapphire Tri X 290 or MSI Gaming Edition 290 are Hynix. Not sure about other AIB 290 cards.

No, but I believe gibbo's said the MSI 290/290X Gaming Series and Sapphire 290/290X Tri-X series use Hynix.

Although you probably still aren't 100% guaranteed on Hynix, just a much higher chance.

As i'm building a case build aftermarket coolers are not an option I need the hot air blowing out the back of the case - do any reference cooler models have hynix?

Get the sapphire, if for some reason it comes with non Hynix memory, you've got 14 days to send it back anyway.

Its hit and miss with the reference cards i think. Might be worth asking in customer services forum section or asking Gibbo. Maybe Asus reference? Can't promise it though.

Thank you, what is the best way of getting hold of Gibbo?

It's a consumer protection regulation, basically allows you a window to return items regardless if they're broken, etc etc.

In reality though, it's there to protect you against companies that don't offer a good service in the first place, OcUK are pretty great regardless of the situation, regulation or not.
