Hi
I was looking forward to buy an AMD r9 290. But I don't know which one I should take.
The Powercolor PCS+ is priced at 349€. Some test say it is loud under load but stays very cool and sometimes have coil whine.
The XFX Double Dissipation is also priced at 349€. It should be very silent but gets really hot.
The Sapphire Tri-X costs 369€. I should be silent and cool under load but hearable in idle. And it is a bit more expensive.
I live under the roof, so in summer I have always above 30°C in my room. So I need a good, but silent cooler.
Which one of those cards should I take?
