Asus put your fingers in between when developing its new top models of the AMD Radeon R9 290 and R9 brother 290X . According to Nordic Hardware has component giant developed the most advanced circuit board for a graphics card with single GPU. Anything to try and tame GPU Hawaii.
Asus is one of many grafikkkortstillverkare currently working feverishly to get ready their own models of AMD's powerful graphics cards . In our detailed reviews of the Radeon R9 290 and R9 290X we poured praise on the performance of the new GPU Hawaii but took the same time to the saw when it came to graphics cards' coolers.
AMD has not managed to match its powerful GPU with an equally capable cooler and this not only gives problems with high noise levels under load , but in many cases pure performance losses. Despite an impressive ratio between performance and price , we recommended all your gardening needs consumers to wait for the customized graphics cards from partner manufacturers. While we still have no clear information on when these show up in the trade , it seems undeniable that they might be worth waiting for .
Asus will initially launch DirectCU II models of Radeon R9 290 series. An emphasis on the same grille design already used for the Radeon R9 280X DirectCU II and the Geforce GTX 780 DirectCU II. The updated DirectCU II cooler comes with dual fans that measure each 100 millimeters in diameter and are based around a hefty heat sink with five thick heating pipes in direct contact with the GPU . A cooler that received good reviews when it was used on these cards , which Asus says will therefore suffice for R9 290 series
The great news is otherwise graphics cards PCB. According to reports, Asus has found several things in AMD's reference design can be improved. Something that should be able to promote both cards overclocking potential and stability. Although Asus repeatedly built really ground-breaking circuit boards for example, other DirectCU II models and Asus Radeon HD 7970 Matrix to the PCB for R9 290 series to be something extraordinary.
