Is this card flashable to a 290x?

I am not sure. I have not tried, however I know that the newer cards cannot be unlocked, and this was bought brand new mid February, so doubt that it can to be honest. It can get overclocked. Hope this helps!

If you want a quiet or cool card stay far away from the AMD R9 series. The reference R9 290x sounds like a leaf blower sometimes when I would game with eyefinity. I ended up selling it for a GTX 970.

Go to the Arctic website and they will have am updated list of cards it will be compatible with. Mine was not on the original list when it was released but it is listed on their site and works great once I got passed some installation isues. I am mining/folding on it now and it is running at 41c which is just above idle temp on the stock cooler.

Depends on your needs, amigo. Are you looking for the least expensive equivalent? Are you looking to use the same amount you paid originally for the next best?If you have the funds, the Radeon R9 290X is still capable of running all the latest on max settings. The ~$600 I paid for it 2 years ago was a good slurge for my rig, but you can get them for sub-$300 nowadays. I'd suggest sticking with DDR5, look for 3-4GB, and stick with a reputable make so that you don't burn out another card. If you just want to replace this 1GB DDR5, you have a multitude of inexpensive options. If you have 2 x16 PCI-E slots in your MoBo, you can crossfire or SLI for 4GB DDR5 with 2 2GB cards that support it. Depends on your needs, amigo. Are you looking for the least expensive equivalent?

Yes. PCI express 2.0 cards have backwards compatibility with 1.0 as far as I know.

This card comes with a DVI port in the back of it. But it also comes with a DVI to VGA converter with it in the box that you can attach to the DVI port to make it VGA. So yes it can be converted

This is an AMD card. I think that it can be crossfired, I see a connection near the top left of the product picture. Although I have read somewhere that you will need at least a 650W power supply.

Yes. The most important thing is the proper number of PCI-E connectors. I believe that the R9 290 requires 2 8 pin Or 1 6 pin and an 8 pin.Frankly you can possibly get away with a smaller PS provided all the power requirements for all the components are met

yes. but the card is a piece of junk. spend a fewvmore dollars and get a good card.

technically compatible. But this card is universally unstable. I would advise to look elsewhere.

Laura is correct. Radeon R9 290/290X use a new processor codenamed "Hawaii". You can crossfire 290 + 290x, etc. Radeon HD7970/7950 use the previous gen processor named "Tahiti". AMD rebadged the HD7970 to create the R9 280X so a 280X can be crossfired with an HD7970/7950 (3GB or 6Gb are ok).

According to the compatibility list it is supported. Here is the link for you to verify, just in case. http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=100-BP-2770-B9

I believe Amazon is not a participant in that promo. Check amd's official site for participating vendors. At this point, you'd be best off with a 290x anyway. Get one from newegg for 300 and you get the games too.

No. It requires a 450w minimum, and installing it with lower could destroy the gpu
