chispy Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Yes Mr. Moose there are a lot of duds 290x out there with very low ASIC quality like my first one was 71.2 ASIC and was very bad clocker core , is all in the ASIC quality , this one is 78.9 ASIC , good core , bad Ram Elpida , will mod the ram before going LN2 to see if it helps clocks a little better.i Still have a better one with ASIC quality 79.3 and Hynix ram , im saving it strictly for LN2 low volts high overclocks runs very cool. I am still binning 290x VGAs Edited December 5, 2013 by chispy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flanker Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Do you know, if some 290 cards are with Samsung or Hynix? But still nice result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chispy Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hi my friend Flanker3R , As far as I know yes 290 cards are also a gamble and a mix of Hynix and Elpidas , its a matter of luck to find the good ones with Hynix memory and high ASIC quality.
