    Hello gents , i was thinking about upgrading into a Sapphire 290 tri-x later this month.
    i was wondering if its possible to unlock the 290 to 290x via bios.
    if Anyone with this model has been able to achieve such result.
    "if its possible ofc."

    I don't believe so. As far as I recall, only the early models of the PowerColor (like my [press] card) are unlock-able... But I haven't bothered to do so yet.

    thanks , atleast u replied.
    i've been reading around the only unlockable models are the ones who have a specific code by looking in with Hawaii-Info , looks like Hynix memory allows the unlock. its all about luck i guess
