Originally I posted my questions on an upgrade in this thread. http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=397923 IN short I ended up buying an open box Powercolor PCS+ R9 290x from newegg. I registered the GPU with PC and did not pay much attention to the New VIP club and their grand opening giveaway. Anyhow the drawing was held on 4-23 with emails to the winners going out today. Well the bad news is I did not win the grand prize, however I won the first prize which is: PowerColor TurboDuo AXR9 290 4GBD5-TDHE/OC Radeon R9 290 4GB 512-Bit GDDR5 Well the original card from newegg has had the dreaded blackscreen issues on windows start up. I have been trying to get from PC or find on the web an updated bios to see if that fixes the issues. I am still within the 30 day newegg return on the open box. But now that I won this contest, and will receive this PC TurboDuo R9 290 Any advice? /edit Opps made a slight mistake only won 1 card...but still
RMA the faulty card for full refund, keep the 2 x 290s Or sell one of them and keep the setup you originally set out to build Or RMA the faulty, sell the 2 x 290s, and wait for the 390X, should have enough for that with refund and sales & enough for an 8 pack
Yeah Wait for tha Monster R390X 8GB HBM !!!! It will destroy all games in 4k !! I'm waiting for R390X BTW :banana:
