Associate received individual samples a few days earlier of some video cards. Â We are talking about models ASUS Radeon R9 290X DirectCU II OC and Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X OC.
ASUS graphics card is based on an alternative PCB design with a 10-phase power system. Â Claimed GPU frequency is 1050 MHz.
The noise level during the game 3 Cysis reference Radeon R9 290X Quiet mode reaches 50 dBA mode Uber - 61.5 dBA, while the corresponding figure Radeon R9 290X DirectCU II OC is 55 dBA. Â Thus, ASUS offers a middle ground between noise and performance.
Circuit board in Radeon R9 290 Tri-X OC has a reference design. Â In the factory, the GPU of this card is increased up to 1 GHz, it does not change even after heating. Â In the standard version under load frequency ranges 700-920 MHz, 947 MHz, although stated.
Instead of testing all participants Radeon R9 290 Tri-X OC was the coldest (of 79 ° C under load), and moderately quiet - 49 dBA. Â Similar rates of the reference Radeon R9 290 are respectively 94 ° C and 58 dBA, the above-mentioned model Radeon R9 290X DirectCU II OC is also heated to 94 ° C. Related Products :
