Best 290 Card?

[jwilliamson47]

Hi, does anyone have an opinion on which the best 290 card is?

I was looking at the Sapphire Tri-X and MSI one.

Hi there

We sell them all, but if I was buying it would be Asus DC2 or Tri-X and as Tri-X is more likely to be Hynix I'd be buying the Sapphire Tri-X card.

Thanks! I heard a few people saying the powercolor triple slot card was the best and others mentioning the Tri-X!

Just got the tri x this week... its an amazing card... very cool... I only hit about 62 degrees max when mining compared to my 7990 which hit about 96 lol.

MSI Gaming, it has a 3 year warranty.

Gibbo how come you're now recommending the Asus over the MSI if you don't mind me asking? I thought the heat sink on the Asus didn't sit properly as it was just reused from the GTX780, and also not Hynix as you mentioned above.

Cheers

Probably a higher profit margin for OCUK on those cards
