Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Vapor-X 4 GB @ techPowerUp

By: Warren Young | Published: Thursday, July 24, 2014

Sapphire's R9 290 Vapor-X comes highly overclocked out of the box, matching R9 290X in performance. The card's triple fan, triple slot cooler manages temperatures very well and offers a unique feature: you decide whether the card idles with one or three fans running, letting you focus on temperature or noise.

Looking at the spec sheet, the Vapor-X 290 looks to be a marked improvement over the base reference model, both in improved cooling, to performance from the factory overclock, which can hopefully outshine the pricetag and the size of this triple-slot swallowing beast. The fan control to switch which fans run when idle are located on the card itself. Think we'll ever see the option to be able to make those adjustments on the fly through the software someday?
