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. ...
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...

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...
Abstract: AMD's Hawaii-based flagship GPU has finally arrived to take on Nvidia's super-sized GK110. This is a GPU grudge match that fans of hardcore PC performance have been waiting for, as both companies have been ratcheting up the tension ahead of today's announ...
For months fans of both AMD and Nvidia graphics cards have been speculating how fast the Radeon R9 290X would be. Finally we have the answer and while many had hoped it would at least match the GeForce GTX 780, it seems the R9 290X is much more impress...
AMD began using the Tahiti GPU in December 2011 for their high-end performance graphics cards and still continue to use it to this day on the new Radeon R9 280X series. This GPU proved to be a thoroughbred workhorse for AMD, but it is getting a little lon...
