thought about getting the 290x one myself but im gunna sit it out till end of year because there isnt any big games now till then as a few been delayed till next year.
all other games will run fine even maxxed at my res.![]()
Finaly dremel'd my case so this card would fit.
I have just benchmarked it on Valley Extreme and ExtremeHD.
In both the GPU maxed out at 65C (Idle is 30C), this was using the below fan curve (as a rule I never use CCC's fan control).

BF4 on Ultra looks amazing, glad I got the card now, haven't done any mining on it yet so unable to provide performance.

Well I prefer to go from the real numbers which show 290 custom to be selling already faster than 290 reference was.
The 290 is faster than a GTX 780, the custom cards even more so as they come overclocked and once prices have settled custom 290's will sit in the 360-400 price range, same as 780. Yet 290 is faster, has better OC headroom potential, has a very high-end sound card onboard, is also handy for mining withand if Mantle kicks off then some big performance leaps still to come.
Can anyone with the 290X post their BIOS please
I have Sapphire Tri-X R9 290X and having some problems.
Which OC program are you using? I am not OCing my card but Trixx is causing BSOD during a normal video playback in the web browser(chrome) but not while gaming! first video slows down then screen goes black with nothing but the mouse icon and the wait symbol, then it tries to restart to display I guess but fails and gets stuck in a glitchy all Blue screen no writing. When I close trixx then it plays videos normally at least up until now... 290x have problems I guess there are lots of BSOD reports around and I just wish it is fixable through dirver update and it's not my card that is bad. Yeah I really hope my card is not a bad one.
Trixx crashes as soon as I click save BIOS button sorry mate.Seconding this request pls, I have a good feeling that there is a good chance the non X will unlock to the X![]()
Thanks I will use MSI AB though my black screens are fixed it seems but will try new voltages too.Hi, I'm using MSI Afterburner to OC, try upping your core voltage by +30, fixed it for me (Black Screen).
