I have the MSI R9 290 and i'm so disappointed by this card :( . I can't enjoy Downsampling, TXAA, HBAO+ and Physx (OMG physix is so freaking awesome!) :< I really dont understand what this card have over GTX 780 ?
It has

1. More RAM
2. Faster RAM
3. More shaders.
4. More ROPs.
5. Excels at openCL.
6. Eyefinity.



What i really dont understand is why you come on threads like this to post useless posts like you just did.

Yea i had no idea 512 bit bus width gave you more bandwidth.

Jesus christ my jimmies... :rolleyes:

Yea i had no idea 512 bit bus width gave you more bandwidth (Yes, more bandwidth = faster).

You must be really bored, because all you do is pull my leg. Blocked.

Lol :)
Faster ram doesn't = more bandwidth. More bandwidth doesn't = faster ram. Bandwidth is the combination of ram and bus.

FYI humbug and thefogo.

If you black screen its most likely the output going to **** caused by too much voltage (Doesnt have to be a dangerous amount of voltage. You can keep this from happening to some degree by lowering refresh rates to 60, if its only for benching then you might aswell run 30hz on your screen.

Rarely does RAM just make your stuff go black, its usually flickering.
