Very good performance, Even better value than R9 290X, Overclocks reasonably well
Reference card is loud and runs hot, No bundled games
The AMD Radeon R9 290 follows in the footsteps of the range-topping 290X by providing a high-quality gaming experience at a palatable cost. And just as the second-rung performance card has historically offered an even better bang-for-buck, the R9 290, pr...
Excellent performance for a single GPU graphics card of its price, CrossFire no longer needs a bridge/connector, Excellent price relative to the competition, 4GB of GDDR5 as standard at its price point
Slightly high (relative) power consumption to the GTX Titan, Reference cooler is weak – it does run hot and loud,
Like the AMD R9 290X the R9 290 has impressed me immensely, perhaps more so. We've seen performance that is generally better than both the GTX Titan (by a small margin) and consistently better than the GTX 780. The R9 290, at least from our results, only...
Fantastic price point, superb performance, designed for Ultra HD 4K gaming,
can get loud, will run hot, core clock can downclock depending on ambient temperature and fan speed, Kitguru says: A fantastic, high value for money proposition, but we advise our audience to wait on custom cooled versions of the hardware before parting w
The AMD R9 290 is a very powerful graphics card capable of dealing with the latest Direct X 11 titles at both 1600p and Ultra HD 4K resolutions.Both R9 290X and R9 290 have 4GB of GDDR5 memory connected via a broad 512 bit memory interface. The memory is...
As with the R9 290X's launch, it's hard to deny the R9 290's appeal in terms of pure bang for buck, as the card is priced directly between Nvidia's GTX 780 and GTX 770 but consistently produces frame rates closer to those of the more expensive card. The £...
The technology press is in the privileged position of receiving high-end components before anyone else sees them. Although this sometimes translates to all-night marathons of benchmarking and cramped hands, the trade-off is that most of us can build bleed...

Super bang for buck, Decent value for a high, end card, Indistinguishable performance from 290X
Still not within the price range of many, Makes AMD look silly to put 290X out first
What this all means then is that there is simply zero reason to spend more than this on a graphics card right now, unless you absolutely can't cope with your graphics card running at 93ºC. The non-Ti GTX 780 is still quieter and cooler, with similar perf...
AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB Graphics Card Launch ReviewIt has been a busy time of late with AMD graphics card launches… and a little sprinkling of APU goodness with the A10-6790K. On the graphics card front things started with the introduction of something new ...
Abstract: Two weeks ago AMD launched its new flagship graphics card, the Radeon R9 290X. A slightly slower version, the Radeon R9 290, finally comes out today. It's cheaper, has fewer active shader units and runs at a lower clock frequency. Originally AMD had p...

Excellent for budget gamers looking for a card with a great priceperformance ratio. Supports AMD's nextgen tech like Mantle and True Audio
The card runs loud and hot. This impacts performance and might reduce the longterm lifespan of the card
