[Arcanekitten]

Hi there i have a question i want to upgrade my pc but i dont which video card i should buy
the 290 TRI-X or the 290x ?!?
is there much fps difference or is it a scam ?!?

What brand and model is the R9 290X?
If it is a Sapphire Vapor-X R9 290X, that card will perform higher than a R9 290 if it is not thermal throttled.

The other alternative is the GTX 970.
What resolution are you using?

290x is better than 290 for sure u will get 2-6 more fps(depending on game and system) from 290x than 290 if u OC the 290x u will get more 2-8 fps
Yeah, GTX 970 is more powerful than 290x u will get 4-6 more fps.
but I recommends Gigabyte 970 G1 gaming will give u more 2-6 fps than standard 970

The AMD sapphire 290 tri-x and the default AMD sapphire 290x OC and my resolution 1920x1080
BTW (i dont want nvidia)
and i mean THE 290 tri-x not the 290x TRi-x

What do you mean by default R9 290X? Do you mean the reference R9 290X?
If it is a reference R9 290X then i would avoid it and get the R9 290X trix.

just a normal 290x like this one http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1227&pid=2060&psn=&lid=1&leg=0
and then the question whats better that or a SAPPHIRE 290 tri-x

U will get barely 2-3 more FPS than standard 290x O.C.
So, u should stay with AMD sapphire 290x O.C.

thats not the question
the question is :
IS a SAPPHIRE 290 OC tri-x or a SAPPHIRE 290x Better

 

[leeb2013]

They would perform similiarly as the tri-x has an awesome cooler allowing it to easily run cool at 1ghz, whilst the reference R9 290x has such a poor cooler it throttles the performance yet still hits 95c

Look Sapphire Tri-x ( a single graphics card named so) is better than http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1227&pid=2060&psn=&lid=1&leg=0

 

[barel0702500]

U will get BF4 frames about 80 on 1080p monitor.
And Sapphire Vapour-x is much better than Sapphire Tri-x
u will get about 90 fps on 1080p monitor

80 fps on ultra?
