Is this the best r9 290x out there that produces less heat and noise? I want a gpu for a pc in my bed room. If this is not, please recommend me one.

Yes I believe this will do the job for you! This unit is VERY quiet and comes with a program to control the fan speed so you can set the fan speed anyway you want!

Is quite silent but if you need total silence this isn't for you, unless you need a really powerfull gpu because there aren't no such powerfull gpus with pasive cooling.

hi there!Due we have extreme ambient temps (37~41ºc) the video card works at 52~56ºC but this is normal in the area I live (north of mexico).It works very well, regarding noise it barely can be hear working with load like battlefield 4 or crysis 3. my case is a generic one. I Hope you can enjoy this GPU.

280x hands down. You wont be disappointed unless you do ultra res gaming and in that case non will suffice. I run 1080p ultra on all games. Expect between 60 to 70 fps on highest end games. 270x is under powered and 290x losses out on cost/performance. Tips: shop around for cheaper prices. Got mine for under 200$. Never buy XFX.

Most new Radeon cards come with a 3rd party heat sync. I dont know why you would need this.It was a good heat-sync, but it doesn't come with a fan or a comfortable way to connect one.It has two sets of brackets, one for Nvidia and one for Radeon. You'll need to check it's compatibility to know if it fits or not.

After doing some research online my personal opinion was that the cooler on this card not only performed better, but also allowed for better temperature control when doing overclocking. I don't overclock, but in my opinion, if it performs really well with overclocking applications then it will perform above and beyond when running stock applications. At stock speed and with good case ventilation I can run ANYTHING I want at MAX SETTINGS and I have never gone past 65 degrees on this card...the Vapor X cooler is just plain awesome.

In this case I'd say 780 To is the fastest overall. The r9 290x is second and 780 lightning comes last. However just keep in mind that all 3 are more than capable of handling anything being thrown at them at 1080p. Also the r9 290x will handle higher resolutions better overall dye to its higher vram

I have two of them using SLI, I have never had a problem of overheating or any noise at all from either of them. I highly recommend this card for the money.

If this can keep my 290x gpu under 60C on load it can keep a 4790k under 80c. I mounted this onto my powercolor pcs+ 290x gpu with a Antes G10 and it brought the temps from 82C on heavy load to a comfy 60ish. Just make sure you use decent thermal paste and use the pea method.

Nice card! It consumes about 180-185 W. Depending on what you're running it in and how much stuff you've got in you're box, you may want to bump it up a notch. You can check the AMD site (or call them) if you have doubts. The site should have recommended PS ratings.

Let me answer this way. With the default settings on the card, it is whisper quiet. My whole machine is very quiet, and so is this card. I can't hear it in my living room. Of course in a graphics intensive game the fan will turn up higher, but honestly even then I haven't noticed it, and I'm pretty easily annoyed by that kind of thing.

The 290 is a powerhouse and is bout 50-60% faster than the 760 FTW, costs $125 more, runs significantly hotter, and consumes almost double the power. But is 50-60% faster.If you already have the 760 FTW, I'd think carefully about whether the upgrade is worth it or not.Source: I own rigs with both 760s (non-FTW) and 290s.

I would say not. I doubt you'd have enough room to really do your GPU any good but besides that the card is somewhat small. If does however help keep the GPU cooler, or at least I've noticed mine has. Because my room is always warmer /colder in summer /winter my computer gets hot more easily if I have high settings on. After getting the card it helped. If you really want to cool your GPU have you looked into liquid cooling ?

I can only comment on the Asus...The Gigabyte does have the tri fan setup and supposedly quiet and runs cool. For me I have a large plexiglass window and asthetics are important and didn't like the lattice on the side and the Asus worked with my current theme. The Asus over clocks to 1300mhz and 8000mhz on the vram raising the voltage up to 1.21v. Runs not over 81*C. Not sure what the Gigabyte card does. Although I did have to RMA the Asus card twice for no display and was not an easy process. I now have the Asus GTX 770 4GB.

works, buts its too loud fan, in games like BF4 (over 85% GPU procesor )need at last 80% of power fan to keep under 70C. Good card, but it's better one with a double fan or better cooling system.

Well, I've seen power draw benchmarks of 2 Crossfire 290xs range from around 600-750. So I would would say a PSU thats a tad over 1000 W total. Don't cheap out on your PSU either, get something with a reputable OEM. Would hate to see your cards go up in smoke.

As Thomas said, it's a higher clocked version but EVGA still lists it on their site as a 60w card and since it's lacking an external power connector it must be under 75w. The stock GPU speed for a 750ti is 1020MHz and the SC is 1176MHz. Temps for these cards are all incredibly low to mid 50s (C) and noise is also a non-issue. These cards sip power and run very cool.

Gigabyte GPU cards have a horrible cooling system, they last less and they are super big and bulky, never buy any gigabyte card.the Sapphire and MSI have the best cooling, tho Sapphire is abit bigger.
