Sapphire Radeon R9 290X Vapor-X OC 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (11226-11-40G) **OcUK WorldWide Exclusive** @ £419.99 inc VAT

GX-353-SP_400.jpg


OcUK has a worldwide exclusive on the only 8GB 290X in existence, but this is not any 290X it's a highly fine tuned machine being the Vapor-X edition with near silent cooling solution. Running with a 1060MHz core clock and with memory clocked at 5600MHz makes this card absolutely perfect for a 4K setup, even more so with a pair or three of these in Crossfire. That means you could play games like Skyrim with expansion packs at 4k resolution and still not run out of VRAM.

Based on the award-winning Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture from AMD with 2816 Stream Processors, the SAPPHIRE R9 290X Vapor-X is an Overclocked edition which boasts 8GB of the latest GDDR5 memory running at 1400 MHz (5.60GB/s effective) and high speed engine clocks of 1060MHz.

SAPPHIRE’s innovative Vapor-X cooling technology allows products to run not only cooler but also much quieter. A Vapor-X product means a virtually silent gaming experience and more headroom to explore performance tweaking!

Choke is an important component of the graphics card. By working with the component engineer, Sapphire’s patent pending choke is 10% cooler and offers 25% more power efficiency than a normal choke. The graphics card will be more reliable and save energy.

Improved reliability and better overclocking are possible by using only high-polymer, aluminum capacitors which posses far superior characteristics than regular aluminum capacitor for a longer product life. When operational temperatures drop by 20°C, the product life span is extended by a factor of ten, when the operational temperature increases by 20°C, the product life span only decreases by 10%.

Along the edge of the card the PCB is extended and one of the copper layers left exposed. An additional heatsink mounted directly to this copper layer allows heat absorbed into the PCB from the GPU and other components to be transferred to the heatsink and cooled by the airflow. This feature alone can reduce core temperature by 2 degree C.


Specification:-
- GPU: Hawaii XT

Three great cards from Sapphire, the reference is perfect for those who want heat exhausted out the case or are building into a small case, plus it is perfect for waterblocks as its an AMD reference PCB.

Then the Tri-X and Vapor-X have the stunning coolers which look superb, the Vapor-X is geared more towards overclocking and has the backplate. :)

That reference card needs to be cheaper than the special offer MSI 290X 8GB for £299.

Who would go for the reference for that price? :(

That Vapor-X is a bit expensive. It's available for £400 at numerous other retailers. Considering you guys had under £400 a while back, no chance of this being price matched?

Also, does the Sapphire Tri-X have a back plate? Doesn't look like it.

No, it doesn't have a backplate. The Vapor-X, Powercolour and MSI cards do though.

Two Questions

1. Why is Vapor -X so much more higher than Tri-X?
2. Can a single one of these run 4k games at 60 fps smooth over hdmi?

It's not, trust me me :)

I won't post the link since it's a competitor, but there is the 8gb model for that price.

Minecraft and LOL yes.. AAA titles doubt you going to get anything higher than 40FPS with medium-high settings
