Thanks! Great to see they solved the throttling performance with only a driver update...simply increasing fan speed in the end.Originally Posted by vario

It's probably just the angle of the shot. If the 290 CUII card uses the same fans as the 280, they are both 100mm fans.Why does that left fan look so weird

Why does that left fan look so weirdI think that's a different shaped fan compared to the right one (which was more conventionally designed), it's like a being influenced with turbine/blower type fan, perhaps because of its position at the outermost part facing the rear backplate that necessitate it to be able to exhaust the airflow somehow.

Probably to push some air out. This might not be exactly how the R9 290X/290 will look like, I did see some DirectCU II coolers with same fans.Why does that left fan look so weird
