Kaapstad how are you finding your 290's ive just got mine yesterday after upgrading from my 7990 so i haven't really messed about with them yet(still have them in quiet mode lol) im just using for gaming really not much benching but i have been lucky and have hynix memory on both.

Mine also have Hynix memory which is a nice bonus when benching. To me the 290Xs feel just like the HD 7970s but a lot more powerful. The frame pacing drivers have made a big difference too.

I notice you are using watercooling on the CPU, sometime in the future extending it to the GPUs may be an idea. With water you can set the cards on uber and not have to worry about heat, noise or throttling and you get a nice performance boost too.
 
Can anyone help me, I am looking for a really good video of the 290X to put in the OP.

Does anyone have any good suggestions please.

Benchmarking, or just a normal run? I'll give it a bash. What are the rules though? Are we allowed a custom fan profile or pure stock settings? I assume i can turn my case fans up a bit? :p
Click to expand...

I will set up a thread for it

The rules are

Three times round the Heaven 4 bench

Stock clockspeeds on the GPUs

Undervolting allowed

Custom fan profiles allowed

Screenshots of GPUZ at the end with max core temps and VRM temps displayed.

The object of the exercise is to see how cool the cards can run.

The thread is here
