MSI 290 Gaming or Asus 290 DirectCU OC

kingcarlos89 · Aug 18, 2014

Hey guys, want to have you opinion which of these two cards are better in performance and less known issues.

Mostly be gaming BF4 and crysis 3.

And will 600W PSU be enough?

Cheers

get the msi... the asus is a junk card for the r9-290 series.

a 600W psu SHOULD be enough but if you have a junky psu all bets are off.

Ic. thing is the MSI is almost $100 more in my country.

What about the sapphire tri-x? Best 290 out, shy of the vapor x. Personally in would want at least a 750w PSU for a 290.

Ic. will hate to change my psu though. But i have been hearing conflicting views that MSI still produces best 290s?

I'm sure MSI makes great products, however in my experience sapphire is top quality, and Im pretty sure the vapor x has lower temps and is quieter then any other on the market, I'll see if I can find some info to back that up.

The MSI is a fast card, but the Sapphire Tri-X is a tad better. Better noise and cooling as well.

Thanks guys. just wondering whats the main difference between tri-x and vapor x?

getdamafiaonyou · Aug 20, 2014

The vapor x has a vapor chamber. Better cooling. However the tri x is damn good for the money.
