Bunch of fanbois and pc illiterates in here...

AMD created a new powertune thingie for these new cards, do the research before posting random shit to up your post count (LaudaM and company)
That doesn't matter. The software is capping it at 95c else it would go higher.

290x running at 95c? did he undervolt and have a good fan blowing at it?
Yup, under load it caps at a steady 95c.

Thinking about trading my three Radeon HD 7970s for a Radeon R9 290X... yes, I'd lose hash rate, but I'd be able to game on my PC again.

Temperature =/= Heat-Wattage-Energy

Forget about the 95c temps, they are the normal operational temps for the new cards.

No they are not!

290x stock is PURE amd crap, overheated throttled shit

Yeah, 290x is way warmer then 290 and 290 seems to give the best hash/watt...
Even when you don't mine it tends to run at 95C under full load.

that is my problem as well.

also, if i use watt at the wall, that is way different than what some hardware reviews report. maybe the card takes 250, but at the wall that would be around 290W


what temps does te 290 run with 800-880kH @ 250-300W?

Why nobody consider used 7990, they are the best value for money currently..

i am actually considering that right now, but i have not decided weather to go with play 7970s instead or the new 280x; i just cannot figure what is the best hash/watt i can get with what card.

People are saying standard r9 290 is approx 800Kh  and 250 watts - seems quite good.  SO with cpu and 2 x r9 290  1600kh and 700Watts.  May be able to tune it even more.  290X 900 KH but runs warm according to some? not sure on power yet since so many different results.

I put a Kill-a-watt on my rig today. I'm running one 290x and one normal 290. Together there running around 650 watts.

what are your hash rates at that power draw?

1680Kh

They run really hot as well, doubt they would be stable at room temp even with good fans.  

Can you break down of each of the graphic card hash rate?

I am interested to know too, but I believe 290x is 900 hash and 290 is 800 hash so its about 1700...

Go for the 290 because of performance vs price. The 290x is much more expensive.

290x seems to have better power efficiency, lets just wait for thanks giving it might be really cheap...
It's possible, but I'd like to see the performance of each card. Possibly with screenshots from cgminer.

Nice hash rate you have there...
