Sapphire R9 290X Vapor-X OC Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell May 26, 2014 Featured Announcement, Graphics

Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.

The final score of 48,242 points places the Sapphire R9 290X Vapor-X OC as the fastest single GPU AMD card we have tested, to date.

    This is awesome- i love the GPU reviews here. Wish I had £500 spare, or £600 for the 8GB version.

    Sapphire focus a lot on the VRM’s – which many AMD partners DON”T. Glad to see you pointing it out in this review

    The Sapphire 290 is the better value card, its only 6 phase, not 10, but it overclocks well and saves you £130. enough to get a good new power supply

    Not much of an AMD fan but that card looks sexy.
