That Sapphire product code is a 4GB 290. So yes, it's a non X version. That's a bit of a **** up! Call them...

Haha nice one! Where did you get it from? Maybe time to try some firestrike and see if you can rumble some titans.

primouf · 30 Oct 2013 at 13:08

well i ain't very happy, paid the price of a 290x.... will try some 3dmark before sending it back.

primouf what is the order number for this please? I cannot see any orders on our system under your email you registered on the forums with.

mmj_uk · 30 Oct 2013 at 13:48

Is there any app that can detect the number of stream processors or do they all have to be fed the information? does CCC show it?

Huge sighs of relief at OCUK.

Yaayuh! · 30 Oct 2013 at 13:51

AHahahah! That's one hell of a **** up.

dom99 · 30 Oct 2013 at 13:52

dont forget to use the latest drivers, aparantly the 290 launch has been delayed to the 5th due to a new last minute driver release boosting performance significantly

I panicked the warehouse staff a bit then! - Wondering how it all went wrong, and then found out it isn't even us.

Stock 290 (non-x) vs Watercooled 7970 @ 1360/1860

Silent_Scone · 30 Oct 2013 at 14:11

Wouldn't be surprising the amount of cards you've been shifting. They probably can't tell their 290s from their arses

10k is impressive, what's the rest of the system?
