[Newegg] Sapphire Tri-X R9 290x 4GB for $260 after rebate

Just picked one up as well. Upgrading from a Sapphire 7950 Dual-X that's been great. Didn't really need to upgrade because I'm mostly running games from 2009-2013 at 1080p, but it's always fun to buy a new toy at a good price.

do you want to sell the 7950?

those case fans you have there literally move the fog OUT of the case, thereby moving it OUT of the game world. Farcry4 is demanding game though, so you should probably add two more case fans to help with the extra fog

I think the "fog" he's talking about is being produced by some other device. :whiste:

Installed mine last night. It is huge. Even though previous card within about a third of an inch in length, for this wone needed to remove the 3.5/2.5 hd enclosure converter to make space.

Temp wise, it is running a nice >15c cooler than my 7970 which failed.
