AMD reached its goal with the high-powered Radeon R9 290X: to rival the other high-end graphics cards. Just remember, the GPU requires a good deal of power and needs to be cooled down in order to perform at its best, which in turn produces a lot of noise....
Abstract: The 'next-generation' consoles are just about catching up to 1080p, but in the world of PC gaming, things have moved up a further few notches through the emergence of 4K panels touting a lush 3,840x2,160 resolution. Lovely as they are - and it's true, gam...
Amazing 4K gaming performance, Outclasses the Nvidia parts, very competitive pricing,
Reference cooler is not impressive, temperatures of 95c are high, QUIET mode will inflict performance penalties, Kitguru says: AMDs R9 290X is the market leader for 4K gaming, Rating: 8.0, Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19, Share, Fac
AMD's R9 290X is a powerhouse graphics card able to drive many of the latest Direct X 11 titles at the native UltraHD 4K resolution of 3840×2160, even with the eye candy at very high settings.Part 1 of our review last week highlighted that the R9 290X was...

Faster than GTX 780 and GTX Titan in most tests, Competitve price, 512, bit memory bus
Very noisy in Uber mode, Runs hot
This is all shaping up to be a pretty impressive win for the R9 290X then. It's quicker than a GTX 780 and when you push the overclock up a little – to be fair you will only get a little out of it – you'll get GTX Titan gaming performance for almost half...
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...
Blistering performance, Good price point, Huge array of features, No Crossfire bridge required, Support for up to 6 screens
Noisy, Hot, Starting to look a little dated
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...
