Title: Which R9 290? Twin Frozr or DCII?? Post by: phaddie on February 20, 2014, 01:09:25 AM Hey guys,
Sapphire tri-x 290 are impossible to find in Toronto Canada right now and they are $800 on newegg.ca which is out of the question. I need 2 more 290 and my options are the MSI twin frozr and the ASUS DCII. If my reading has been accurate the ASUS is not available with hynix mem. IS this reason enough to just go with the MSI? Any thoughts would help me make the choice. Phad. Title: Re: Which R9 290? Twin Frozr or DCII?? Post by: BitCoinPokerBro on February 20, 2014, 04:13:37 AM I'd go with MSI twin

Never had this problem with DC2, but I'm not sure if they use the same coolers for their 280X and 290. |
