Hello internet :) 

After researching the difference between the R9 290 and the R9 290x, I came to see that there was little difference in performance so not worth the £100 increase in price. That aside I was wondering which one I should get as I don't really know which is better. My colour scheme is anything black or red.

Thanks in advance.

Get Tri-X or Vapor from Sapphire, their cooling solution is massively superior to others.

What resolution are you using?
Are you doing multi monitor?
Mostly likely R9 290 will be enough for your needs if at 1080p.

Check out the reviews on Newegg, a lot of people have had issues with that card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...


mmm.... Most people fix the issues after updating the bios but I don't know if I should risk it.
