feetfats Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Does anyone here have an R9 290? Is it too noisy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetfats Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 I think I will wait for the non reference R9 290. How long does it usually take for them to come out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a good ideal I only hope they don't charge too much for them so it ruins their great price/performance position Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can buy the card right now and put a proper cooler on it but when that's all said and done I'll be out $570 with taxes and shipping (go Canada, and go BC for the 7% extra tax yay). I hope things will be a bit better next month. Edited November 11, 2013 by feetfats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetfats Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) I decided to buy the Asus 7970 Direct CUII Good price and 8 free games. I can't wait until it gets here. Thanks for the help guys.

Braegnok Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 The PowerColor 7970 V3 has unlocked voltages,.. but the vrms do not have heat sinks,.. so watch your temps while overclocking. Which retailer did you buy from giving 8 free games,.. most I seen was three free games. http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=PC-797_3V3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-131-468&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
