I've had my reference ASUS R9 290 card for about a month and only had w black screens last night. It was fine for a month. I will have to test it with some looping benchmarks later, but for now I just wanted to know how common it is.

Thanks guys, I see that using a backplate is the way to go :) Still, could anyone point me to a few coolers that don't need a backplate so I can research them to see if they're better than my TX3? I really don't know what to look for, because I haven't researched coolers ever since I bought my...

Hi guys, Currently, my 2600k is being cooled by Cooler Master TX3 with double fans. It's a nice little cooler, but with it I can only OC until around 4.6ghz, beyond that the temps completely overwhelm the cooler and the CPU starts to throttle. I'm looking for a new CPU cooler, that can help me...

Turned 30 last march 19th. I don't feel like 30 at all. I know 30 is that big number when you're no longer a "youth", and you're supposed to an adult about all things... but... it just didn't happen, I'm still the same kid I was 10 years ago :/

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for :D

I don't know, 3dmark.com's score don't seem to be trustworthy (I see supposedly stock clocks scoring way higher than me, and I can't tell if it's erratic clock reporting of if my card is under-performing.) I'd feel more reassured if someone could run their card at stock for me... I'd really be...

after comparing them with the overclocked results (also in the 16k range), I assume that those who scored 16k @ stock clocks on the graphics score, were misreporting the clocks.

I'm looking at results from cards running at stock (947mhz) along with my CPU and most of them score 16000+ in graphics department. Mine only scores about 13500, on the graphics department. I'm only searching for valid results, I don't know if that means tat the clocks are correctly reported.

Given that the overall (P) 3dmark score varies because of ram speed, CPU, and so on, I'm interested in knowing if my R9 290's graphics score in 3dmark11 is within the normal range. Would someone kindly run the benchmark on the Performance preset and at stock GPU speeds? Here's a 3dmark11 run I...

That's pretty good for a GTX 580! :D How did you manage to get the resolution to 1080p? I can't seem to do it.

That's tough :/ Can you try to roll-back to the previous WHQL and maybe try it?

I'm using the latest 14.4 WHQL and I have ZERO problems on my R9 290!

Be sure to try the "Cave" demo as well! I just updated the first post with the link akatitan provided. It's playable and it is huge, with lots to explore!

Are those console commands? Where can I enter the console? :)

I ran it with Windows 8.1 64. What kind of trouble are you having?
