Review - AMD Radeon R9 290X

[magnum]

I had opportunity to do some limited testing with a couple of 290X. I had the same problems with varying (low) clocks even at really low temperatures until I set minimum clocks (ie. custom->aLevels[0]) to same value as the max clocks. After that it seems to work like a champ so far. And fortunately, if it reaches 94 degrees, it will still throttle way below the pegged minimum if needed.

Whoa, at 100% fans these cards sound like leaf blowers.
