I have not looked into the power colour much but I am sure I have seen a "why not to buy" forum here regarding the power colour 290 might want to check for that first though I believe it's just about mining reasons

Not sure as I only have a reference watercooled sapphire, That said poor VRMs and cooling on this card would be a big no especially if you planning on overclocking the card
To be honest I got a bit huffy and stopped bothering once it didn't do 1100MHz core at stock voltages.
Lol you do seem like that type. You should try 1075 at stock voltage.
but that's not 1100MHz...
I was a bit the same with my 7950s when they wouldn't do, what was it, 1200/1500 at stock volts (original BIOS, not yours).
And yes, I am that type
How annoyed was I when my 4770K wouldn't do 4.5GHz @ 1.25v!
I'm really not lucky with my OCing...

Iv got a problem with my msi 290 gaming. after about 2hours, not solid as there is about 5mins in-between getting games, i got some serious throttling where my fps was a total mess jumping between 15 and 200. its happened a few times now and only after a few hours of gaming but not every time, is the card edging on being broken or is there something i am doing wrong? the only way i can resolve the issue is by restarting my pc
Temps never get over 72c when playing cs, using the 13.12 drivers, iv got a 850w corsair powersupply
