Overall I am very impressed with the R9-290/290X cards that AMD brought to the table. And hey 6.2 Billion transistors baked at a 28nm fabrication is an accomplishment all by itself. The end-result is a product that can compete with the GeForce GTX 780 an...
AMD has definitely gone on the warpath with the Radeon R9 290 4GB graphics card. Seemingly going straight for the juggular of NVIDIA, the R9 290 is able to perform better than a GeForce GTX 780 for $100 less (which seems like deja vu from last month) whi...
Great price, Excellent performance, Software voltage control possible, Native, full-size HDMI and DisplayPort, Improved multi-monitor output, Dual BIOS, 4 GB video memory, Support for AMD TrueAudio

Bringing this review to a close, it's admittedly not very often that we write a negative video card review, especially for a major SKU launch from NVIDIA or AMD. Both companies have competitive analysis teams to do benchmarking and performance comparisons...
Let's see, hmm…what's missing from this review? Oh, right, price! I intentionally didn't tell you the price before so you would have to see how it performed before we got to it. So, what does the AMD R9 290 cost? $399 MSRP. That's right, there is GTX 78...

best performance, excellent power consumption, best price/performance ratio

The R9 290 and 290X cards are absolutely identical, except for the GPU, of course. The difference between the 2 GPUs is only in the number of stream processors and texture units. Other than that they are twins.I assume AMD took the not-so-good 290X chips,...
Abstract: Today AMD is launching the Radeon R9 290 , which is the second card in its all-new Hawaii series of GPUs designed to take on Nvidia's GK110-based super GPUs. This particular card is extremely similar to its big brother, the R9 290X , but has slightly lowe...
Final Thoughts ]Now that you have seen how the Radeon R9 290 handles, the next question is what does it cost? Well last month AMD shocked us with the surprisingly low MSRP of $550 for the R9 290X which made us wonder just how much cheaper the R9 290 ...
There is a war between AMD and NVIDIA, and NVIDIA is running around trying to dig itself out from the debris of the R9 290 series fallout. The R9 290X at $549 hit NVIDIA hard on the GeForce GTX TITAN and GeForce GTX 780 front. For a while NVIDIA was scram...
