Exceptional cooling!!!!!, Amazing Performance, Powerful new GPU, 4GB Vram, Bridgeless Crossfire, Massive Game Bundle
AMD Price increases are hurting value, Power consumption is high
Sapphire set out to fix the major complaint about the 290X being the heat and noise and well what can I say besides they not only succeeded but they gave me a product that I simply cannot believe as it runs that much better. I hope AMD learns something...

Sapphire's R9 290X Tri-X 4GB graphics card is among the fastest we have ever tested at PC Perspective. Its overclocked settings out of the box, at 1040 MHz GPU clock, are a bit lower than the ASUS model but some very simple and basic overclocking can eas...
The Sapphire R9 290X TRI-X 4GB OC is going to set you back roughly 10 percent more than a reference designed card. For that money, we would recommend spending the extra, especially when you're already spending in excess of $650. The extra money is gettin...
