Your heart

















Just received it. Havent had the chance to play a game yet.

The damn thing idles at 64 degrees. I wonder if thats normal??
Edit: idle temp 41 degrees.
Thinking of returning it and getting a 780 gigahertz edition.

excellent purchase. congrats

install afterburner ....run a benchmark after its over look at afterburner screen there u will find the temps min / high etc ...give feed back on that ...

also play bf4 on max setings for like 30 min or so --please turn fan speed to 90 % and report temps then do same with 100 % fan speed .

doc a lot of ppl geting r290 and some gpu with bios flash turn out to be complete r290x models --cant wait to get my hands on my quad gpus ---but hell its equal to performace of a gtx 780 which is still expensive --

in pak price of gtx 780 is ame as that of r290x --guys attention all

ALL MEDIA INTL AND GALAXY GETING THERE GPUS FROM DUBAI ....THE SOURCE IS SAME FOR EVERY ONE ...

THE COST OF THESE CARDS FROM SOURCE IS RS.70K FOR 290X BF4 EDITION AND RS.50K FOR R290 ....

SO U ARE TOLD --- I SHARED THIS INFO WITH LOTS OF MEMBERS ------SO BE AWARE OF THERE PROFIT TACTICS

I think its best u sale this and get a gigabyte wind force 3 edition with 3 fans

Its working very well at the moment. The only downside is the 4 and a half slot cooler. Its massive. But then the temps are very acceptable. Idle 32C and 62C after 15 mins of furmark. Have flashed hacked bios with no throttling and no vdroop.
Might add another gigabyte version later. Now waiting for my 4770k and ud5h mobo.

By the way, installed the card in second pcie slot with the top taken by the xonar. only downside is this card is running at x8. But this is a temporary arrangement till my new motherboard arrives.

If it is better cooling that forget sound card.
its much better cooling and no throttling and i can hardly hear it. I have installed it in the second pcie slot for the time being. the sound card is in the first. But this is temporary.

as i said doc ---dont mind but i think u over did it ----the windfoce edition is superior and slim 3 fans and 2 slot ..

i think u will still get a good price as its short in intl market T the moment --rest ur choise - personally temps dont bother me -- there was a new flash for sapphire gpus dont know what they did but cards are not that warm now ---temps stay a 70c at i guess 57 percent fan speed . not bad

if i increase them to 60 percent well it becomes loud due to 4 gpus but temps dont go above 68c---its winters here -summers is a differetn story

    The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
