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

Finally :D haha

My first Tri X 290 had the faulty fan issue which I've been told is generally a Sapphire problem. Besides that the card was working perfectly.

After the trouble I've gone through so far with my current build.. all I want is to be able to play my games without the absolute fear of faulty hardware :mad:

Fingers crossed, I see the expected ETA has slipped again. Hopefully Friday or early next week then for more stock! :)
 
Good night sweet prince(s)

Both cards started exhibiting this a few days ago. I crash at least 2-3 times a night now, but not always with this, usually just thrown to desktop with some weird DirectX error or app has been blocked from accessing GPU hardware /sigh

Anyone know what the turn around is like for Sapphire? I'm guessing it's going to be at least a month to 6 weeks. Tempted to get 2 of those tri x cards on special to tie me over until I get these back from warranty.

The old stripey vram gone kaput screen. Seen a couple of those in my time. OcuK might have a quick turnaround with Sapphire.
 
Last few days in getting black screens followed by a compete lock up of the system. Cards are running stock. Not playing a game just listening to spotify and browsing the web.
 
They have been working although I've had to run old drivers to get crossfire to work. Not really been able to play since Saturday and I had a bit of a pain to get stuff to run to begin with had to reboot a couple times then it worked.
 
I just wanted to ask do all tri-x's come with Hynix memory? Heard people saying only Hynix but saw some vbio's listed as having Elpida EDW2032BBBG_DEBUG2.
 
I enquired about my Sapphire warranty and OCUK stated it would almost take a month for the RMA to complete

You>OCUK>Supplier>Sapphire HK<Supplier<OCUK<You

A bit to long if you ask me
 
Yep absolutely ridiculous. My card was black screening and has a coil whine. The black screen is not as often since the driver updates and using DDU but the whine is still there. I would rather live with it than wait almost 30 days for a RMA
 
Don't get me wrong the card is great and overclocks like hell under water. But if you worry about warranty go with MSI also I believe they have a 3 year warranty not 2 like Sapphire
