AMD R9 290 (Non-X, Pro, etc) Owners Club

The Tri-X has gone, not that there was anything wrong with it at all, just fancied a little change. waiting to see what the green people do and how current prices are affected by new launches. Really watching the 290X Vapor-X but if others end up reduced it will be ignored for a sensible option.

Done this too, going back to a 5850 and holding out for couple of months, PS4 should keep me occupied :)
 
Really having second thoughts. I just got my pc Running well and now I'm messing about with cards. Ziip Carrot is your tri X still for sale or did you sell it.

Not straight away, i'm not sure how long i'll have them for, i change my PC hardware all too often :p

I hope you're prepared for heat and noise. :D

If you can somehow get at least 1 slor space between each card then it makes a big difference.
 
:D :D Oh yes i came prepared!

I'll have about 10cm between each card, that's depending on i can fit all 3 in :eek:

Ah you should be good then. If i can get things under control with two of my cards touching each other inappropriately (i exaggerate a bit, there is a small gap between them) then I'm sure you'll be fine with a decent spacing between them.

Which score of yours would you like me to beat first? :p

Heres a couple of scores for you to aim for and try to beat with reference trifire. You have 290X so it should be possible. :)
