[mason kethword]

I was just wondering which r9 290 has pure preformance/cooling the vapor x

Msi twin frozer

Asus direct cu ii

Gigabyte windforce oc

I'd go with the Asus or Sapphire for performance, Sapphire for cooling, MSI for low noise levels, and Sapphire overall

Vapor X is excellent in cooling, go for it!

Alright go with vapour x but what about asus preformance oand cooling and gigabytes preformance or cooling

Asus' performance is solid and cooling is good too, its just that Sapphire has been better at cooling AMDs than Asus.

Gigabyte has some heating issues with AMD cards so I won't recommend those.

Link for all necessary benchmarks for gtx 780 vs r9 290:

From the table of contents, just go to the benchmark you want to compare those card in.

I love ASUS products but in this situation I would have to recommend going with the Sapphire R9 290 Vapor-X http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814.... Sapphire is the best performing and most reliable manufacturer of AMD cards and the Vapor-X is the most effective cooler for the R9 290 on the market.
