Sapphire reveal two 8GB R9 290X cards, the 290X Toxic and VaporX



Introducing the Sapphire R9 290X Toxic and R9 290X VaporX.









These limited edition cards are designed to outperform Nvidia's new Titan Black edition at ultra high resolutions. Clock speeds are yet to be confirmed but Sapphire say that these cards go through an extensive speed binning process so only the best cards can achieve Toxic or VaporX status.



Sapphire want the Toxic or VaporX cards to be the fastest R9 290X money can buy, so watch out MSI as you lightning is going to get some competition soon enough.



Both cards offer a similar, if not identical, 2.5 slot cooler using 3 92mm fans, the VaporX cooler with blue accents and the Toxic with an orange accent. Both cards also offer a large back plate with VaporX and Toxic branding respectively, a few pics are shown below.









The prices of both these cards are unconfirmed at present, but expect it to be high given the additional ram costs and the large binning process Sapphire are going through to bring these cards to market.



Will these premium cards from sapphire become the new kings of the hill? only time will tell.
