Help! im buying this GPU

[matias4no4]

I have a question. I was getting a r9 290 Vapor X (not tri x version) for 280$ because i read that hte 290 have heat issues. Im not going to do OC or heavy gaming more than 2-3 hours. Can i get the regular 290 from sapphire http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202043&cm_re=r9_290-_-14-202-043-_-Product

Or its really worth the Vapor X version for 70$ more.

I wouldnt buy the sapphire cards, my Toxic (which is similar to the Vapor) went bad real quick due to a bad factory OC and now im searching for a BIOS to get the card to function properly if my Underclocking doesnt work. I recommend just getting a R9 390 for a bit more. Or just get a 290 from a different company like ASUS.

Oh i thought i read that Sapphire was the best brand for AMD Gpu , also some people told the VAPOR X would keep the card cool.

Sapphires cards are great, but anything from 280x to the 290 had bad bios from what i've heard. You can try the card maybe you'll get a good card, but ASUS CUII has great cooling to. In the end it's what you want i guess.

Sapphire is good dont get me wrong i forgot to mention I had their 260x for over a year before i sold it to a friend and it had no problems. Maybe the vapor-x will be good to you.
