i find it noisy @ 50-55%, it does get hot if you aren't minimum @50% during gaming.
to compare the noise i just got a 780 gtx dcu II and i must say it is sooooo much silent that i am glad i did not keep the 290, but for the price the 290 is the best value/performace.
all depends what loud is...
Hello !
got my Asus GTX 780 aswell today just after sending back my 290.
soooo silent ! i love it !
did some overclocking aswell, flashed an unlocked vcore bios and here is my result in firestrike :)
I actually bought a 780 aswell but and in a few months i will get an 290/290x costum, the stock cooler is just too noisy and bad for me ( even if the performance is there )
LOL, love that moustache ! :D
I don't think i could go a lot higher without unlocking the voltage, i start to get small artefacts with higher GPU clocks :p
Hey !! no problemo for the comprehension ;)
Yes i do have a switch and on both modes it's the same BIOS with the exact clocks,in...
Yes i am sure it could go higher with the voltage unlocked but even at stock 947 to 1115 is quite nice :) it's going back soon so won't be pushing it more.
ahaha ;) just send me a 290x i will be happy :D
It is great card performance wise but that cooler is bad, playing a lot of BF4 and...
No contact by AMD, i'm scared the retailer won't take it back on their fees, no news since yesterday should have got an email with printed postage to send it back but still nothing...
Gibbo do you know if Sapphire have contacted them?
Hey ! here you go, ultra settings 90FOV MSAA x4 1080p...
Thanks guys ;)
for the noise i think it's the same as a 290x, playing BF4 for a few hours with fan @44% for 93°c it is a bit noisy if i go any higher but my case is right next to me.
Hello everyone !
Must say I laughed a lot after reading everything on here during my ban :D
Conspiracy, double account etc ..
No no ! It’s just me who didn’t read de rules *facepalm* and rules are rules even if they are abit harsh, thank you for the early unban :)
Oh and for the “location...
just got the hotline, they finally understood the Please fully star all swear words up and are paying the shippement back and refund, i didn't ask for more i ain't that kind of guy.
tonight i will try some more benchmarks in 3Dmark extreme and see if i can OC it abit more ;)
No i ain't happy !! i'm furious, they are ripping people off but it's ok i've benched it and it's a lot better then i thought.
I will be sending it back soon and even if i pay the shipping at least i did some benchmarks for everybody :)
going to check out if OCUK can ship to France and see...
i would love to, but as the 290 aint out yet and we don't know the price, How will they refund me the difference :confused:
i'm sure this retailer is still selling 290 at 290x prices...
that was the max during other tests and games with lower fan speed ( i did not close afterburner )
and if it really did go to 94°C during my last test then you wouldn't see 42°C right afterwards... as it takes a **** load of time to get back down in temp.
sure is !!! wish i could get a refund of the difference and keep it....
This is the max i could get, if i go higher i start to get some small artefacts now and then,very nice i must say !!
