I have come across a forum showing how to flash the 290 upto a 290X. Is this worth doing and has anyone done it? or is an overclock enough to bridge the gap?
Please remember that any mention of competitors, hinting at competitors or offering to provide details of competitors will result in an account suspension. The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK.
a lot of the early 290's could be unlocked to an x but if you have one of the later ones with non ref cooling i would say theres no chance of working
was it not the case of them being 290x's anyway with just a gimped BIOS due to not being able to produce enough reference 290's for the demand at the time.
There is a comment on the site I found those codes saying flash only if it's one of these. So I was a little worried I would do something wrong. If I flash it and it's wrong, is it easy to put it back. I can't brick my card can I?
