R9 290X Owners Thread

Here is one of mine using 2 cards, the CPU on 4 cores and the same clocks.

Not much difference.

So it's been several days running the 290X Tri-X...
Compared to the GTX 780 I'm liking it although there wasn't anything wrong with the 780 It runs quiter when gaming but outs more heat into the case and my load and idle temps are a few degrees higher now.
No bugs or driver issues spotted at all and if my eyes aren't deceiving me I could swear that some games look richer on the AMD card. A game I play almost every night, TF2, the colours of textures feel like they pop more with slightly improved clarity. Anyone else notice this coming from nVidia?

Just wondering if you guys thought 1200/1680 was a good overclock for a 290X with +200mV and +20% PL?
Also, whenever I go above this (1220), it won't artifact, but performs no better than it does at 1200, how come?
Thanks!

It could be the overclock on the VRAM is too high.

Ok, should I put the VRAM frequency back down to stock and try it again?

Just tried it and the display driver stopped working :/
Try 1200/6400 and run 3dmark firestrike then write down what graphics score you get.
Then up the clocks to 1200/6500 and run firestrike again and record the graphics score.
Keep doing this, adding 100mhz to the VRAM until the score starts to go down or the bench won't run.
You probably won't be able to leave the core at stock and just overclock the VRAM, you need to do both together like in the examples above.

The thing is my monitor is colour calibrated and IPS so what I see on screen should be the same as before, well for photos it is of course 
It's just in games it's just richer
Pfft it's OK,. none of them are browsing this thread

Welcome to the red team, this is why we use AMD cards. We haven't mentioned that API either yet.

Not today please.
I almost mentioned Nboumf in another thread but changed my mind at the last moment.

Looks like a risky glory hole.
