My 290x in 2D mode is 11.63v with a Corsair TX 950 that will be 6 years old come March.. my 290x is the Sapphire Tri X New Edition with 6 phase power design.

I have an older 775 socket system with a e8400 cpu and 4 Gb of DDR2 memory , windows 8.1 32bit .. I want to give it some new life as I need it to play World of Tanks in HD settings and I was thinking the 750Ti may be the right card for it as newegg has a open box MSI 750Ti for like $98 shipped...

I still have my MSI 7900GT but I am not sure if it's AGP or not.

I have a 290X that is called New Edition that has Samsung memory running at 1350Mhz which I think was the last of the new 290X's before the 300 line up came out.

Have you thought about SLi 770GTX ? I have one I need to sell ..MSI Twin Froz 770GTX 4Gb which I was thinking $145

If the price is right then these will sell as it's an improved R9-290 with 1500Mhz ram.. look at the Fire strike score as my 290X NE is around 12,300 stock so it's close to 290X performance .

I have a Sapphire Tri X 280 that I use TriXX software on.. it will unlock voltage for you.

I bought the 290x New Edition for $279 and it's designed like the 390x .. it will also do the clock speeds that 390x enjoys because of the better PCB design.. http://cdn.overclock.net/d/d2/900x900px-LL-d2ab3936_Sapphire_R9_290X_New_Edition-pcgh.png

I had not noticed any issues.. but after reading this I fired Sapphire Trixx up and made a profile and I have always like that part of Trixx as feel it's the best for fan speed vs temp range as it scales up or down as needed to control temp.

It's not my type of game so I really don't care what Nvidia waste there money on as I am waiting for DX 12 games as we have been on DX 11 way to long without moving forward and I am not buying into Gameworks or the overpriced DX 11 cards.

Like others I really didn't need anything but I ended up walking into BestBuy last night around 7:00pm and found one of the door busters .. the Panasonic Blu-Ray player for $39 and what I really like about the player is how compact it is but still has wifi and smart apps , then I picked up afew...

If you plan to buy a video card like the 970 or 390 then your planning sucked if you need a new power supply as this should of been taking care of long ago.. I bought my Corsair TX 950 watt in March of 2010 and it's still running very stable with a 290x (375watt) card. Now if money is an issue...

I was planning to buy a 970 until the ram issue came to light.. so buying my time I picked up redesigned 290x for $259 and the card has been amazing and now looking forward I am not as gimped as I would be with Nvidia because I can add that $229 R-9 290 someone linked for crossfire or any of the...

This is a hoot and all the Nvidia fanboyz talking up the 970GTX pricing.. where have you been all this time as the 290x has already been there back in July this year for $279 out of pocket before $20 rebate with a free game and now it's a big azz deal about 970GTX pricing..lol 7/24/2015...

My 290x ($270) new runs the same as the 390 and overclocks to the 390x as it is very important which 290x your talking about and bought as mine is rated at 375watts (2 x 8pin) connectors without any throttle issues.
