questions for XFX 290(X) DD owners

[kefan77]

so, I'm looking at cheap XFX 290X DD to buy and my questions would be:

is it decent card to buy? it will roughly around 50 less than eg. Asus DCU. this would be brand new.

how is OCing? Noise? temps?

heard that some had problems with high VRM temps and that not much OC headroom.

also, how is XFX with warranty? I already own PSU from them, so ok with brand itself.

thanks

there is no stock however.

if nothing better comes up tomorrow morning, I'm buying Asus R9290X-DC2-4GD5 for 177.

was leaning towards DD, but now that Asus is cheaper, there is little sense in going for it.
