Power Colors Reliability

[Doug13]

I want to buy 2 290's in xfire for my computer. I really like how the PCS+ looks and the back plate. I also have seen multiple times that the cooling temps are better if not the same as the tri-x. Some of the cards seem to have reliability issues. Should I buy it? Also it is by far the cheapest out of all of the 290's.

don't know if I got lucky or what I got a powercolor to replace a sapphire and so far so good for near $100 less then the sapphire it doing a way better job [opinion]

Powercolor is a very reliable brand for GPUs. I would suggest you buy the two 290s.

bottom line is its all a roll of the dice .. you may get one of any brand and it works real good or it may be one that runs hot , don't oc well shutters , ect.

with any card and any brand it can come down to luck of the draw

good luck
