Looking for R9 with Hynix memory

[pandem0nium]

It may unlock though, worth a go.

? I do have 290x then i think all is unlocked?

I bought the Powercolor BF4 R9 290X,I hope I get Hynix memory...

Do the Sapphire reference bf4 or MSI reference bf4 cards use Hynix memory?

 

[Temp.sgk]

Forgive me for asking but as someone new to memory, what's the difference between the Hynix memory and the other memory for cards?

Hynix memory modules overclock a lot better.

I bought a HIS R9 270 iPower IceQ X² And it had Elpida, THen it gave me problems and I sent it back and got another, And my new one has Hynix. It also has a black bracket were the monitor plugs are, The first one had a silver bracket. So maybe they updated? The new ones having Hynix and older ones with Elpida, Or the other way around? Who knows. It's weird they seem to perform the same, But then I have not overclocked it because so far the 270 is fine stock.
