    To all the owners of R9 290! Tell us your comments!

    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...

    *** AMD Radeon R9 290 (PRO / NON-X) Benchmarks Thread ***

    it was the opposite for me... cool in Furmark and hot during BF4, 2min test vs 2-3h gaming i sure know which is hotter.

    Any idea what time tomorrow we will get prices on 290 pro?

    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 )

    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.

    AMD 290 (non-x) vs Watercooled 7970 - 3DMark Result

    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.
