how about 290- and a 290x?
granted just saying 290 should already be saying a non-x version, but /shrug.
980X is fine, only problem would be if you intended to bench, but for gaming it'll perform fine. On par or better than AMD FX chips...crossfire will bottleneck any cpu out there btw, and is a bit overkill unless you have 3 1440p monitors or single 4K. Even triple 1080p runs fine on a single oced 290X or 290-.
My single 290 runs BF4 70+ fps with pretty much everything cranked up and thats even at stock speeds. I have AA on and the settings to Ultra and get 70-100 pretty consistent.I figured it would be, but thought I would ask. Yeah the 290 series seem to excel with larger resolutions, but I like raw power to push 60+ FPS with everything cranked if possible.
Also, my apologies for the sidetrack. I do not own one! (yet)
We have recently pinned a spot down.BF4 is difficult to benchmark as it doesn't have a standardized test. The editor team here is working on making a repeatable benchmark, but I don't believe it is ready yet.
As much as I want to believe this I'll believe it when I see a couple more. I've seen multiple posts of people flashing with little to no change to get excited about it. Plus I find it hard to believe only one brand got this lucky but you never know. As close as the 290 and 290x are they could be failed 290x cards rebadged for all we know. Kind of like those CPUs that with a little voltage could have cores unlocked.Ah, good to know...well, keep it to the standalone or repeatable benchmarks for games.
I'll work on the op this weekend, don't have too much time on my hands during labor days.

OMGOMG! I need an R9 290 by Powercolor before they "fix" this.
Who is "ours"? I checked the game thread so I could set what was needed prior to this any saw nothing. A little info would help out when trying to do this so I dont have to do it multiple times...
