Hello, just wondering if anyone has tried underclocking these cards?, i managed to scrape enough money together for 2 of these cards with a good deal on the MM, but im not gonna be able to upgrade my PSU untill i get some more money so i'm thinking of just underclocking them for now.
From experience with my 7950s i know 2 underclocked cards give a lot more power per watt used than 1 overclocked card with the games i play so i hope to do that for now, but i know some cards dont underclock well and get a bit twitchy, so i was hoping someone has tested it with 290x's and could confirm ill be able to do it, before i get both cards plumbed into the water, other wise ill be either breaking the loop up again cause the PSU cant cope, or breaking it up when i get a new PSU to add the second card in.
Cheers.
