Hi everyone, I recently bought an Asus R9 290 DC2OC which has their custom pcb and cooler, and tried overclocking it with disappointing results. At factory clocks, which are 1000mhz on the core and 1260mhz on the memory (Or 5040mhz effective), the card runs fine. I overclocked it to 1100mhz on...

I have the same problem as gravytrain, and none of the solutions are really a problem. I run furmark without vsync, and i have set my power in GPUTweak to 150% (Or 50%). I have a Asus R9290DC2OC, and if I OC it to even 1100 core 1300 memory with +50mv, it starts throttling at anything above 68 C.

I am looking to buy an ssd, and found OCZ Vector 128gb and Samsung 840 EVO 120gb for sale at newegg for $90. I was looking around reviews and people have said that the evo isn't as fast, but the benchmarks they published say otherwise. I am really confused and need answers fast.
