Abstract: Just yesterday, we found out that AMD's new champion graphics card, the $549 Radeon R9 290X, gave Nvidia's GeForce GTX Titan a very good run for its money. Heck, in some games it took the Titan's dinner money and gave it a cheeky slap into the financial b...
Class leading performance for a single GPU graphics card, New PowerTune enhancements pave the way for stress free performance boosts, CrossFire no longer needs a bridge/connector, Well priced relative to the competition
Slightly high (relative) power consumption,
AMD's R9 290X has really impressed me a lot. Our results show it performs consistently better than the GTX Titan in the vast majority of benchmarks and pretty much blows the GTX 780 out of the park (we tested using the “quiet mode” BIOS switch, not the “U...
incredible performance, some overclocking headroom, able to outperform the GTX Titan and GTX780 OC cards, competitive pricing, undercutting the GTX780,
reference cooler is not up to the task, AMD may say it is fine, but 95c is too hot long term for my tastes, overclocking requires the fan to be set much higher, and it can get very noisy, quiet mode will suffer from core downclocking depending on the situ
The AMD R9 290X is without question an extremely powerful video card. Testing today highlighted that it was able to outperform the GTX 780 and GTX Titan in many of the latest Direct X 11 games as well as the last two iterations of 3DMark from Futuremark.F...

First let’s clear the performance questions up. It is faster than a GTX780. This is the competitor card AMD were gunning for so it is mission complete as far as that remit goes. Compared against the GTX TITAN, the R9-290X can occasionally hold its hea...
A trip to Bora Bora is going to set you back big time. Monte Carlo and Capri are also great places to go if you want to be seen spending lots of cash. But Hawaii—now that can be done relatively affordably. And it can still be pretty damn close to paradise...
The Radeon R9 290X is an extremely powerful graphics card, faster than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 in almost every benchmark, and faster than the Titan in more than a few. With 4K resolution, which of course is still very exotic for all but the early ado...
The most important thing to say about the new Radeon R9 290X 4GB is that on the price performance scale it's a clear winner against Nvidia's GTX 780 3GB, at the time of writing. It undercuts it by at least £50 in the UK and $100 stateside, yet outperfo...
A genuine enthusiastclass card, Lays solid claim to 'world's fastest consumer GPU' title, Very competitive pricing, Ideally suited to 2,560x1,440 gaming
Low default memory clock, High operating temperature
AMD has been playing graphics catchup ever since Nvidia launched the GTX Titan card in February this year. Just like the green team, AMD's best-ever GPU, the Radeon R9 290X, is largely based on existing technology, and it is reasonable to consider it as ...
