There are two key issues worth looking at from this story. The first issue is the notion that the R9 290X is an enthusiast configurable graphics card and the second is the high variability in the clocks of the 290X (even at default settings).Let me first...
The GeForce GTX TITAN is the fastest single-GPU video card from NVIDIA that is available. The GeForce GTX 780 Ti is not yet available, performance is unknown, and we don't have one at this time. Even with the GTX 780 Ti, the TITAN pricing is not changing...
Abstract: Yesterday, AMD released the Radeon R9 290X video card at $549 that was able to outperform the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 in the majority of benchmarks that we ran. We tested at 1920×1080, 2560×1600 and 5760×1080 resolutions over six game titles and two synthe...
Overall I am very much impressed with the R9-290X cards that AMD brings to the table. And hey 6.2 Billion transistors baked at a 28nm fabrication daaauuumn, that is an accomplishment all by itself. The end-result is a product that can compete with the Ge...
Great Performance, Excellent Feature Set, More Flexible Multi-Monitor Configurations Possible, Quiet and Uber Modes, Aggressive Pricing
Still Somewhat Pricey, High Power Consumption, Pumps Out A Lot Of Heat, Louder Than Competitive GeForces
With that said, while frame rates were competitive, the GeForces still have a couple of advantages in our opinion. The GeForce GTX 780 and Titan were quieter than the Radeon R9 290X, regardless of which mode was used on the Radeon. The GeForces also pumpe...
Fastest single-chip graphics card we've tested, Consistently outpaced Nvidia's GeForce GTX 780—and the $1,000 GTX Titan, at near half the price
Flipping BIOS to “Uber Mode” delivers a bit more performance, but with extra heat and noise
The Radeon R9 290X is stunningly powerful for its $549 price, outpacing both Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 780 and its $1,000 GeForce GTX Titan. The card's “Uber Mode” can squeeze out a few extra frames, too, so long as you don't mind the fan noise. ...
Great price, Good 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
Noisy, High temperatures, High power consumption, No analog VGA outputs
According to AMD, the Radeon R9 290X will retail for $549. Great price Good 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 Noisy High...

Blimey Charlie it's been tight hasn't it. When the R9 290X first appeared we were hopeful that it would be a similarly large leap forward that the Kepler GPU provided for nVidia. Relative to the HD7970 it certainly is, with vastly increased performance on...
