Ok I did not see a thread so post them if you got them. My xfx card will be here in a few days have some cooling planned and a bios flash or two Voltmod info and bios can be found here http://kingpincooling.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2473 latest beta drivers http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/amd_catalyst_13_11_beta_9_2_is_answer_to_r290x_clock_drops.html Please share cooling info or anything to help others.
w00t nice Ice you went for 290 crossfire? Good choice man especially if properly cooled. You'll have some killer system lol. New psu though?
yeah i forgot 290 in title its 290 and 290xxx club. 2 290's does seem like the way to go on paper good luck with that
I have a 750W that's in storage. But sadly I have to exit the club as quickly as I entered; my friend decided at the last minute not to buy my 680 for w/e reason. And I'd rather not get just one. Thus, order cancelled. Oh well, I guess I'll just wait and see what comes up in the next year.
Nice title !! I want to join the club !! I have two cards in crossfire with EK waterblocks. I run two benchmarks this morning. Slight OC for now that will be increased with some voltage increase, meanwhile I have no plans to flash them. Let me share some numbers and temps after the benchmarks were done.
One word of advice for anyone getting these cards... Dont mode them or do anything to void your warrenty right away.. Play with the card for afew days stock.. Then when you know you dont have any display port's going out and gpu/ram is ok then start modding it.. Seen so many peeps with display ports going out.. Think myn is on the fritz too... I switched to the bottom port and all my glitches and black screens went away... Will test more on Saturday when I have the time and when iv had to much bf4 ... Just thought Id let you guys know.. Im going to be putting on the accelero hybrid on myn, im not going to be using the double sided tape for my ram heatsinks. Im going to be gluing them on with AS thermal adhesive. My ASIC is 76.5% so that should yield for a good OC, but it needs the cooling.
yeah give it a run thruogh first then mess it up lol Taint i would not bother with the permanent stuff on the rams just airflow for them is fine or sticky padded ramsinks. vrm is different you need sinks and airflow good ones too. Holy @#$% thats a great 3d11 gpu score for just out of the box "xxx"cf postman great temps on those blocks.
just got the card installed today looks like 1140+ stock 1.25v with 1.33v real 1200+ rams go 1650+np for benching have yet to want to play games on it but not bad. Card is not as hot as I thought it was going to be(like a x2 cored card) and is ok so far. It definatly can keep the "xxx" hot name althuogh not as hot as a live show :banana: :banana:but not bad for hardware. I had good temps in room all it took was to crack the window a tad in my small spare room since wind chill was 27c today in jersey Heaven hwbot x preset 68C max fan100% so it did get help with the outside air. without tess obviously here with tess in FSX I will edit in the non tess score but was around 64xx gpu side. http://www.3dmark.com/fs/1143835 So not bad after a bios flash and just stock cooling yeah it runs loud enough where you can not listen to it 24/7 100% but a few minutes is ok. Still takes a beating with tess on but who needs that. now to mount a pot on it maybe tomorrow
it should saif since all are ref cards right now but test it alot at the speeds the other card comes with. ok prepping up my card now for dice as i watch my favirite cam girl so its getting hot in here ja ja ja Thing is i started getting black screens last night even stock soooooo i hope i dont end up like tk and toss it around the room lol thing has to go little faster cold i would think :3eyes: i might stream the benching *Well would have been boring I guess i am a rookie cus this card would not do over 1250!!!! -48c card flips out then black screen even mild clocks. ok ok i will try agian but mount was good and vrms were ice cold 1.40 real was all it would want if that. I will get my acxIII on it after tommorrows session it has to be better then todays....but these cards got great gains with even just 50 over clocks from yesterday just have to get some bugs worked out and am sorry for just saying and not showing :wanker:
I'm getting rather annoyed while waiting for custom versions. Gigabyte's GTX 780 GHz Edition is looking more and more appealing.
great to read about??? are you kidding me i ran out of xannax benching this card. ok i know i know but NO WAY have i ever had issues with a card before like this I even gave it another shot this morning....thats it no MAS!!!!! bs's!! setting fans did not work,stock bios nope,modded bios no way no help! just sucks everybody else is having a good time with this caRD .....ME NAH was ugly for bench runs but everytime i went to cat to set my settings blackscreens then dont touch ccc 3 minutes later bs's agian come on that is not fun for me at all Fitting theme i would think
Ok did a quick run Clocks: 1100/1400 Memory: Elpdia ASICS: 71% Only thing I touched was PL +50% and CPU was only at 4.2ghz. I will do some more testing later. So far no black screens and the stock cooler is no louder than my ref 7970 probably a little quieter.
1100/1250, stock RAM. 4.4GHz CPU. Firestrike 10292. Only MOD done was 290 to 290x BIOS, will try voltage tweaking and higher clocks later.
Please state your maximum overclocks w/ voltages as well as manufacturer & model. If any of you are mining LiteCoins, please include your specifications.
This is getting to be a hotter sex show then i thuoght becuase i got really screwed when you got the same card now for two hundred usd less then us 290x owners owwww my butt hurts anyway shtty score gt4 is falling off the mark for some reason just had to test the board for cold since i have four and forgot which one was better for that lame ass show but i dont give hoot this time....paybacks a bitch. 1200/1600 1.3v anyways bench them if you have them hwbot 290x top scores chispy owns it now in 3d03 200k plus http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/radeon_r9_290x/
