That is very impressive ! If Gigabyte deliver with a nice high end non ref 290X, will prob be enough to tempt me to go red again.

Oh i'll be overclocking it don't worry, i'll probably end up putting it under water soon though too, seems the way to go with the reference cards.

Anyone seen this, might give some a chuckle.
We get it, you're panicking over your investment going wrong. No need to keep crapping on 290X threads with this rubbish.
Mine came ~4.30pm but shame I was at work only got home in the last 30-40mins, I still need to build the PC so will be a couple/few days before I get any use out of it.
Will post pic/s, came with a bag of haribo but I'm kind of underwhelmed as was hoping/expecting more for the money spent on the card(only came with a small bag).

This has already been posted before, but it's beginning to worry me. My GPU for most of the time, even when I'm not doing anything is sitting at 100% usage, and shooting up to incredible high temperatures.
Is anyone else having this issue?

Pushed CPU upto 4.4 and 290X upto 1125/1450
valley went to :-
FPS: 64.5
Score: 2700
Min FPS: 30.4
Max FPS: 130.0
heaven crashed, but I did get a run at 1117/1410 -
FPS: 58.4
Score: 1471
Min FPS: 26.2
Max FPS: 119.5
which would get #41 and #44 respectively in the league tables.

Are you using more than one monitor?
Brilliant
, but might be best to stick it in the other thread, this is the owners thread Take a look in windows task manager, there must be something it's trying to do.
e.g. bitcoin virus
Just the one.
Also, checked Task manager, nothing CPU is idle. Have never touched Bitcoin

That's literally 388 more than mine.
Only real difference between our systems is that I only have 8GB Ram and it's 1600Mhz. That wouldn't make that much difference though?
