8 Pack looks at R290X

3d mark 11, Valley has favoured amd cards for a while now, without testing and comparing these cards with games it's all pretty much meh to me. Are the cards tested cherry picked or just regular ones intended for consumers?

One of my cards has a horrendous cold bug!! As in no negative temps at all. So the LN2 session did not go too well. I am going to put it on MM or Ebay and get another one.

Thanks Gregster.

As an LN2 noob, whats so significant about not being able to see the temperature? don't you just sub zero it regardless?

Silent_Scone · 29 Oct 2013 at 15:28

There's always one that spoils the party!

No rush though mate.

*Quickly types up Titans for sale thread*

I think he means it won't let him go below 0c meaning he can't put it on Ice as the card is crapping out! Generally I think that's what cold bug means anyway.

Hope that doesn't mean we see many on water doing the same
