So much for 290x's claimed "1GHz"...

It was always labeled as Peak frequency since day one.
complain about the horrid heat numbers that are causing the clock throttling. Your title makes it seem like AMD was false advertising.
What they were really doing was deceiving you with truthful advertising.

Its also unclear if those 2 dips to 700mhz are caused by the load being down at that time.

JohnC wrote:My case (Antec P183v2) has a perfect airflow and completely filtered air intake (I taped all the unfiltered holes through which the air can get inside). I clean the air filters often enough (all it takes is a few swipes with vacuum cleaner's hose with a brush attachment - I don't even have to remove the filters). My Titan was doing fine in same case, never throttling so dramatically even with stock fan speed.
Of course, the situation will be worse for people with more poor case airflow and/or when the dust will start to accumulate on the fins of their card's heatsink (which will happen quickly for people not caring about filtering)... This is also why people shouldn't just rely on random sites who do benchmarks on a completely open bench setup

Well, my basic rule is that if the case allows for X fans, it gets X fans.
