Grid 2 is the sequel to the racing video game Race Driver: Grid. It was developed and published by Codemasters. The game includes numerous real world locations such as Paris, numerous United States locations, and many more, and also includes motor vehicles spanning four decades. In addition, it includes a new handling system that developer Codemasters has dubbed ‘TrueFeel’, which aims to hit a sweet spot between realism and accessibility.
We select 4K 3840×2160 resolution and enabled the ULTRA profile with 8 times anti aliasing, as shown in the screenshots above.
The Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X OC is very closely matched to the reference clocked GTX780 Ti at this resolution.
Of course the first AIB custom cooler WOULD be on a 290 non-x…my patience runs ever thinner.
Happy about the thermals. Not happy about the OC potential though. I though it could hit 1.2GHz.
No voltage tweaking? Cmon Kitguru, we wanna see more speed!
Did you increase voltage with that overclock?
Once we took the power limit to +40% (as shown in the screenshot) we didn’t find any improvements above this point. Not with this sample anyway. It can vary from card to card.
So the difference between the reference and the 100£ more toxic version is 1fps in games ? legit.
what power suply that graphic card need? (sorry for my bad englando)
The problem with the AMD cards is that they are being used for mining. Which has made the cards hard to find, and any that are for sale are at some insane jackrd up price well over the retail price. This is going to hurt AMD in the long run, as people will justto nvidia for those very reasons. AMD needs to block the mining ability, if they want to survive as a gaming card.
For reviewer:
Please, can you post a maximum VRM1 and VRM2 temperature in load from GPU-Z?
Thanks.
