ty, so much information in 20min lol

Just testing my onboard audio. So far I hear no difference so far other than loudness.

I can tell a little difference in audio clarity.

ye,
he sounds right with that placebo effect lol
and that ITS LOUDER IT MUST BE BETTER

Yeah lol. Onboard sounds more natural as well.

the non ref for 290x just shows how utter garbage its ref cooler is.

if they put a 3x fan on ref 7990 and they were 600 for a time why was there no thought to do so here.

but oh well, 290 + nxzt g10 will run apparently 20c cooler that the cuII

It is not like.. todays news that ref is garbage. From what I read 7990 problems are more related to its two GPUs not getting along so well. Anyway.. Yeah. I expect that non refs will go through some price drop in some time and maybe make refs drop little more so I could buy two for cheap and put water on it.

refs are high due to supply, amd said somewhere that the price is not their doing but rather retailers price hiking.

then on personal ad sites in my area there are 290s up for 690$. and 280x for 450.

why do they talk about sound, and have alot of static in the background of whole video! lol

good video though

what the pricing?? I am looking at 290 for 450 bucks, anything more is a robbery.
