Resident Evil 6
Considering that Resident Evil is playable on a toaster, well not quite but you get our point, it's a shock to see how bad the performance is on a R9 290. Even the 280X is comfortably better.

Good Ol' PowerColor :'). Top lads for not being wimps. To be fair the performance is exactly what I would want for a card but no cooler means no sale for me.Quote

Its completely different to every single other review out there. So i'm not really sure what to make of it. edit : ill add i am now using 3x 290's....on water though and my results are insanely different (using 1 card of course) |
I have screenshots for every single result too (that goes for all reviews)Quote
It's a decent enough card for the price. The saviour for the 95 degrees, I feel, is the rear exhausting fan. But still, if you're going to buy one, know you've got to deal with it.
Still can't wrap my head around the Gigabyte/MSI 780 results. One is better than the ti and the other isn't, and yet there's no difference. Lottery I guess.Quote
