LOL

 

[smogsy]

indeed Lol

That's my name but don't wear it out.

Dead chuffed with my Tri-X gotta say. Noise levels beat the pants off the GTX 780 and not a single bug to be seen yet on 14.7.

Always good to hear. The Tri-X is a great card and one of the best 290 cards out there i think. Basically a reference AMD pcb, with Hynix memory and a powerful quiet cooler.

 

[~Mike~]

That's my name but don't wear it out.

Are the cards arriving today?

 

[LtMatt]

Are the cards arriving today?

I don't know, soon hopefully.

I just can't understand now why the 780 costs so much more yet doesn't offer any more performance!

 

[tommybhoy]

Any of you lads no if the Asus Radeon R9 290X DirectCU II OC 4096MB are still using the Elpida memory.

They are.

 

[~Mike~]

I don't know, soon hopefully.

They better be Lightnings or there will be trouble.

 

[Captain]

You changed from 3 290's to 290X's Matt?

 

[LtMatt]

You changed from 3 290's to 290X's Matt?

I still have the 290's. My motto in life is you can never have too many Radeons.

 

[Rusty0611]

You ain't doing more DSR'ing are you Matt?

 

[LtMatt]

You ain't doing more DSR'ing are you Matt?

I'd never do a thing like that, it's morally wrong.

Haha, so you have two rigs then? How many 290x's you ordered?

 

[LtMatt]

Technically, I've not ordered any. However I don't wish to reveal all my secrets just yet Mr Clovis. Time will tell.
