Hitting at $399, AMD has done the same thing they've done with every other R series video card that they've launched in the last month - priced it perfectly. With NVIDIA doing a bit of a price drop, in the last week, though, we thought that maybe it woul...
Super bang for buck, Decent value for a highend card, Indistinguishable performance from 290X
Still not within the price range of many, Makes AMD look silly to put 290X out first

Abstract: When reviewing the AMD Radeon R9 290 under Linux back in November we found the Catalyst Linux performance to be quite poor for this high-end "Hawaii" graphics processor compared to the pleasurable performance reports under Windows and a strong showing aga...
