What's the point of creating a whole new article on a card that is physically identical to the reference 290X that you reviewed before? Sure, there's been a driver update since your last review of the 290X, but a whole new article covering all the same bases as the previous reference 290X - seems like a bizarre choice!

I wouldn't recommend the 290s at all now, black screen crash looks a major problem.

I just updated the bios on my asus through gpu tweak, so far so good with no black screens.. Im guessing there are still afew bugs to be worked out.. Im gonna rma myn, to much coil whine. I know i complained alot about it, but im just going to play this out till the end of the month. Thats when neweggs rma policy runs out or something i guess. But try the new gpu tweak bios updater.
