Sapphire R9 290X Vapor-X OC Review

3DMark is an essential tool used by millions of gamers, hundreds of hardware review sites and many of the world’s leading manufacturers to measure PC gaming performance.

Futuremark say “Use it to test your PC’s limits and measure the impact of overclocking and tweaking your system. Search our massive results database and see how your PC compares or just admire the graphics and wonder why all PC games don’t look this good.

To get more out of your PC, put 3DMark in your PC.”

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

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

  3. 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

  4. I prefer their blue finish, to the orange. its very sexy. I still have a Sapphire AIW card, thats how well they are built 😉

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