You're not blind. All future announcements and presentations from AMD concerning their graphics card and cpus/apus will have nothing to do with the PS4 and X-One. Do not expect the new technologies from AMD to suddenly be implemented in your X-One or PS4. That's not going to happen. At this...

Well. Installed the ICY Vision on my shiny new 290x with some slight modification to the placement of the bottom heatsink. GPU-Z is telling me that I'm idling at 42c. VRM 1 is at 35 and VRM 2 is 39-40. Now my only problem is that Skyrim keeps crashing on me.

So I went ahead and bought the reference MSI 290x BF4 edition from Newegg along with a Gelid ICY Vision Rev 2 I bought off another retailer. All for 650 bucks. Which is probably more or less than how much the non reference R9 290x cards are going to cost... Plus tax. So, I'm good with that.

What's everyone's opinion about the stock cooler on the 290x for someone who doesn't overclock? Does it do a good enough job or should I wait for non-reference coolers to come out?
