Hello everyone, I'm planning on buying a R9 290 graphics card. As you know there are lots of brands releasing it such as ASUS and Sapphire and so on. I've heard the card has some heating problems so I'd like to know what brand to get such as the Sapphire AMD R9 290 TRI-X. Basically which brand would be best for performance and cooling?
What brand AMD R9 290 shall I get?

the best air cooled 290/290x is the toxic but the heating issues were mostly fixed with the non reference coolers. i would go with the toxic personally.

Sapphire Tri-X is quite good.
There may be still some reference cards out there, but they are noisy

this link shows perfomance comparison and cooling on most of the after market coolers for the non reference 290x (the cooler performance should be about the same for the 290) and other performance benchmarks to use as a rule of thumb. but imo the toxic is the best
