Which GPU is better and by how much?

PCBuilder1234 · May 25, 2014

Hey currently I am either going to purchase the :
ASUS DirectCU II OC R9290-DC2OC-4GD5 Radeon R9 290 4GB 512-Bit card :
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121842&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
or the

XFX Double Dissipation R9-290X-EDFD Radeon R9 290X 4GB 512-Bit card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150696

What is the power difference between the two and by how much ?

Performance wise you will not notice a difference. Only cooling wise which would be 1 or 2 C difference because of the new Asus fan types. Only other difference is warranty and CS other then those small things there is no difference between those 2 cards.

i would choose the ASUS , 1stly it haves a oc , and asus usually have good cooling

heh, the XFX comes with free 2x4GB RAM. I'd be tempted to get that one.

The XFX is also a 290X, and $100 more, I'd go the Asus and OC it, the CU cooling will provide for a good OC

Yeah I was just thinking you could sell the free 8GB ram for like $50 to split the difference

True, those are the original RJs
