So i had an MSI 290X Gaming, which i changed for a 290X PCS+
The cooler PCS is awesome, but the performance is not so good. Even tho its factory overclock is higher than the Gamin, it is a good 5-10% slower bot in 3DMark, and Unigine Valley.
The difference gets even bigger with overclock, where the MSI card reached 64FPS, the PCS only does around 57-58 (firestrike graphics 1 test).
Any thoughts about this? The card works as it should, its just a chunk slower than my previous one.
