AMD Radeon R9 290 reviews

[kadozer]

I am starting to think Brent Justice deaf. They never complain about noise on any card anymore(the reference cooler 7970 ghz edition didn't get a mention of noise) and without using objective testing equipment there is no real way to see if the cards are noisy in their reviews or not.

They said the 290x was loud. The fan %pct range he provided for the 290 where the fan got loud also sounds about where AMD cards in the past have been.

Also I believe they test these on an open bench setup.
