Abstract: BattleField 4 is the poster child for the next generation of consoles. With a relative dearth of AAA titles it has fallen to DICE to wow us with the latest iteration of their first person squad shooter.As much as we might champion the cause of the PC Gami...

Arctic's Accelero Xtreme III does exactly what it's supposed to do: it cools. But it does that job so effectively and quietly that you end up wondering if AMD's Radeon R9 290 is even the same card in your PC. We'd like Arctic to include three additional...
A staggeringly quick graphics card with an unbeatable price tag. It may still get pretty toasty but its quieter than the 290X and performs just as well...
Abstract: AMD's announcement of Radeon R9 290X made a really good impression on the public. Most of excitement wasn't due to performance, which is great, nor due to acoustic and thermal characteristic that aren't really that good. So, what makes this card that popu...
Now, when you take all of those performance numbers into consideration, it seems like the R9 290 is a pretty good card that runs a bit hot, but still has potential. Now, when you take the $399 price into account, you begin to realize that this card rea...
Stunning performance for the price, Consistently edges out pricier GTX 780, Same 4GB of GDDR5 RAM as much pricier R9 290X
Exceedingly loud under load at stock speeds, Same power requirements as R9 290X
AMD’s $399 Radeon R9 290 is the best value in a high-end graphics card to come along in years, but at stock speeds with the reference cooler and fan, it’s also the loudest card we can remember testing. ...
Great Performance, Aggressive Price, Bridgeless CrossFire, Flexible Output Options
Louder Than a GTX 780, Runs Hot
Versus competing NVIDIA-based offerings, the Radeon R9 290 goes toe to toe with the GeForce GTX 780. Throughout our testing, the Radeon R9 290 and GeForce GTX 780 traded victories, with the 290 coming out on top in four tests and the GeForce in three. Wit...
With an MSRP pricing for R9-290X at EUR 399 excl. VAT and 299 EUR excl VAT for the regular 290 we feel this product is priced really teriffic. It is a very nice price if you need high end performance and want to have 4 GB of memory. Two cards set up in C...
Overall I am very impressed with the R9-290/290X cards that AMD brought to the table. And hey 6.2 Billion transistors baked at a 28nm fabrication is an accomplishment all by itself. The end-result is a product that can compete with the GeForce GTX 780 an...
AMD has definitely gone on the warpath with the Radeon R9 290 4GB graphics card. Seemingly going straight for the juggular of NVIDIA, the R9 290 is able to perform better than a GeForce GTX 780 for $100 less (which seems like deja vu from last month) whi...
