We overclock the Sapphire R9 290X 4GB Vapor-X OC video card and see what kind of performance we can get out of it. Take a look at what Shawn has to say.
Aside from having one of those ever-lengthening industry names, the 750 TI has been called the “Xbox One killer”, as well as having the reputation for producing graphics that rival the PS4 as well as higher end graphics cards.
Just as soon as I thought all of the video card introductions from the Nvidia 700 series cards were over Asus tossed out another one. This time it was something a little special, the Striker. The Striker is a GTX 760 but they went a little above and beyond from their standard cards. This is actually a little bit of an unusual launch, typically special cards are limited to the highest end GPUs (like this Mars and Poseidon models), but they did something special with that GPU that more people can afford. Now lets dig in and see how the Striker holds up against the competition.
AMD’s R9 290X is back in business when it comes to competing with Nvidia’s equivalents. The custom R9 290Xs easily beat out equivalently priced or sometimes even more expensive custom GTX 780s making them a solid proposition for any gamer on a budget but wanting maximum performance. Today we are looking a highly competitive R9 290X from XFX which has some of the most aggressive pricing on the market and is currently the cheapest R9 290X available in most markets by quite a significant margin, particularly in the USA where it can be had for just $450 at the time of writing which is $50 cheaper than the next cheapest R9 290X option. This means custom R9 290Xs are now $100 cheaper than MSRP pricing of $550 and XFXs option looks almost too good to resist. While XFX have lowered the price of their Double Dissipation SKU they have also recently added a “cherry picked” DD Black Edition skew with an additional 50MHz overclock and more overclocking potential, this will probably fetch slightly more than the model we are testing today but broadly speaking those cards are identical. We’ve already tested three R9 290Xs so I’ve got a pretty good idea about what makes a good one and what makes a bad one, with the reference design being the textbook definition of a bad one. Let’s have a look at XFX’s offering and see whether it sacrifices on anything to make it the cheapest R9 290X currently on the market!
Netis sent over its latest 802.11ac solution for those wanting to add the new AC1200 Wi-Fi standard to their system via USB. Enter the WF2190.
Durch die Vorstellung der "Volcanic Islands"-Familie hat AMD verschiedenen bestehenden Produkten eine Frischzellenkur samt neuer Bezeichnung verpasst. Neben der Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, die leicht modifziert nun als Radeon R9 280X im Produktportfolio rangiert, hat man auch die Radeon HD 7950 überarbeitet. Letztere darf sich nun über einen erhöhten GPU-Takt freuen und wurde namentlich als Radeon R9 280 verankert. Leistungsmäßig möchte man mit der GeForce GTX 760 von Mitbewerber Nvidia konkurrieren. Was die Entwickler an der Tahiti-Neuauflage außerdem verändert haben und wie sich die R9 280 in der Praxis schlagen kann, klären wir in unserem ausführlichen Review. Zum Test haben wir uns die Radeon R9 280 Dual-X OC von Hersteller Sapphire eingeladen. Diese Karte trägt den Namenszusatz "OC" und kommt entsprechend mit Overclocking ab Werk zum Kunden. Ebenso freuen dürfen wir uns auf die Darbietung des Dual-X-Kühlers, der das Referenzdesign von AMD ersetzt.
We all love to play games! It is likely your dream graphics card will be either a GTX 780 Ti or R9 290X. Not fast enough for you? – then how about AMD’s R9 295X2 or Nvidia’s Titan Z? Be prepared to dig deep into your bank account at £1,100 and £2,300 respectively … yes, it really is enough to make grown men cry. Back in the real world – and if recent correspondence with our readers is anything to go by then many of you wanted to see which hardware offers a better gaming experience under the £200 ‘sweetspot’ – an R9 280 or a GTX760. So with this in mind we went shopping online.
HIS is ready with another entry-level card based on the R7 250X GPU and has built an improved cooling system for it in order to keep the temperatures at a decent level in all conditions. The card is not a speed demon, but for 75 Euros we can run plenty of titles with resolutions up to 1680x1050 while keeping the detail levels from medium to high.
With the R7 250X OC video card, Gigabyte succeeds to provide for the entry-level market a competitive card which can run games at either medium or high detail levels, while using display resolutions up to 1680x1050. Plenty of connectivity options are also offered, along with a dual-slot cooling system which remains silent at all times.
Ende Februar 2014 hat NVIDIA offiziell die GTX Titan Black als schnellste Single-GPU Spieler-Grafikkarte vorgestellt. Testmuster stellte NVIDIA der Presse nicht zur Verfügung und auch die Partner sind verschlossen. Nun verirrte sich doch ein einsames Testmuster in unser Labor und wir können aus erster Hand klären, was sich hinter dem teuren Produkt versteckt.
