R9 290X Owners Thread

My asus has serious coil whine. Doesn't really bother me but it's there all the same. I know some people whinge about it . Only get it when the cards flat out on loading screens and the like obviously.
 
new driver doesnt seem to work for me in either valley or heaven - just get blank screen flashing the desktop every 5-10s, have to ctrl-alt-del/task-manager kill it. B3 was ok - unless I need to remove it all for some reason and reboot before installing.

Uninstall old driver, restart. Install new driver, restart. If you fail to do that then it may not work properly.

Definitely do a full uninstallation and reboot first, as sometimes files don't get updated properly otherwise and you may have a mix of releases.

I'm sure my CPU is actually at 4.5Ghz though...anyway, is that any good?

Scores below at stock 1000/1250, not going to push it too much now until I get my waterblock for it.

How do these look, I've not used these before so dont have any point of reference as to how it compares.

3DMark11

Firestrike (and others)

You have to compare the graphics scores but to answer your question, for a stock card the 3dmark11 score is huge and the 3dmark firestrike score is also very impressive.
