R9 290X Owners Thread

Finally joined this thread - twice. :D

Got myseklf two watercooled r9 290s which i estimate doubles my performance over my single 7970 which lasted me two and half years.

Seems like a worthwhile step up. :)

Seems strange people still doing reviews of 290x...

They need it really, Driver optimisations make it perform a good bit better than it did when all the release reviews where made, We could do with all the 390x reviews being re done too, They held back the optimized drivers from the 200 series cards to make the 390/x look that much better than it really is when compared to the 200 series equivalent.
 
just got a 290x from the members market. Does anyone know what the aux voltage does in afterburner? Only had a quick play at overclocking it but whacked the ram to 1400mhz thinking all would be fine but instant black screen in games though heaven and valley benchmarks are fine. Increasing the aux volts stops this but don't really know what its doing.

Think you should send that reference card my way matt to keep mine company , only had it a week and it's already getting lonely :D ..

Don't know why everyone complains about the noise and heat either the temps never go above 78 on mine with a max of 65% fan usage , is audible but I game with headphones so don't mind and it keeps my feet nice and warm under the desk :)
