Hi,
I’m thinking of getting either the Sapphire R9 290 Vapor-X or Sapphire R9 290X Tri-X. Irrespective of the £70 price difference is the Vapor-X the better cooling solution to get for lower noise and temps or would the 290X Tri-X be the one to go for as there isn’t much difference and it’s a bit faster?
Does anyone have any experience using these two cards, is there any difference in sound levels? I like to try and keep things as quiet as possible (on air)
I currently have:
i7 2600k at 4.4
Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3
Noctua D14 CPU Cooler
Cooler Master Vanguard V850W
650D (standard fan configuration but with all fans replaced)
Sapphire 5850
Many thanks.
