Our Settings for Battlefield 3
Here is our testing run through the game, for your reference.
In BF3 the new ASUS R9 290X is definitely a step above the reference design with an average frame rate that is improved by 11%. It isn't enough to catch the GTX 780 Ti but it closes the gap considerably.
One thing that would really
One thing that would really interest me since Sapphire is the biggest contender for Asus in the AMD custom cooling sector:
How does the db(A) of the Asus r9 290x in performance/quiet mode compare to the Sapphire r9 290x or the Asus r9 280x?
Thanks in advance!
The xfx R9-290A-ENBC is
The xfx R9-290A-ENBC is 499.00 at ncix.ca and 539.00 newegg.ca Canadian dollers. The custom 290 price is around 570.00 to 600.00 and that is not even the 290x. I was going to ask do you guys know what the sp is of the fans becuase it is static pressure and a good heatsink on the card that would chill it down good right? I was thinking a blower fan design is the best for static pressure right or wrong ? and what if you just purchased a usb extender 10$ and hmdi extender 10$ and put it in a closet with 80% or more fan speed on a stock 290 blower design. I have seen most custom r9 290s is 70$ or 100$ more and the same if you buy a aftermarket cooler it’s around 100$ for it.
Newegg just raised the price
Newegg just raised the price from $699 to $749. In fact if you search 290x cards, they show $699 but when you open the product page the $749 price appears This is the case for most 290x’s.
