To overclock today, we used the dedicated overclocking tools within the latest version of AMD’s Catalyst Control Center.
There is only a little headroom available on the Asus R9 290X Direct CU II, and we found that increasing the power limit settings beyond 10% didn't reap any reward. Our final result was 5% above the out of the box overclock settings, from 1,050mhz to 1,103mhz. The memory is configured very close to the limit.
I love the GPU reviews here, so much information and great buying advice. I like the ASUS cards, they are always built very well, although they tend to be more expensive, than even Sapphire, who aren’t cheap.
Very expensive, I want to see more 290 reviews, not the X versions, they are way out of most peoples price range.
I have always bought ASUS cards – although I must admit not at £500! Quite happy with my 670, still rocking well with modern games.
No stock again 🙁 AMD need to get their act together with their partners. by the time they get a lot of stock of 290’s and 290x’s Nvidia will have their next generation out !
Its an interesting point, triple fan coolers look to be the future for these high end boards. That Palit GTX780ti got me excited, but I just can’t justify £630 on a graphics card.
I agree though, why no 290 reviews, the X version is just way too expensive. more please.
Could you please update the review with VRM temps? Just scroll down on the sensor tab on GPU-Z. Thanks!
