You may have read this evaluation and feel like the AMD Radeon R9 290X isn't quite as fast as you expected at 1600p or 1080p. We think there was a lot of hype surrounding this video card, everyone was hoping it will be a "TITAN killer" at those resolution...
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...
Abstract: If we only had two words to describe AMD's current single-GPU king, the R9 290X, they'd be fast and hot. So when we heard that AMD had strapped two of these GPUs together inside a single, twin-slot graphics card called the R9 295X2, we wondered whether th...
Faster than GTX 780 and GTX Titan in most tests, 512bit memory bus
Very noisy in Uber mode, Runs hot, No point in it given R9290 performance
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...
The good news about the HIS R9 290X 3GB is that it carries the lowest price tag over at Newegg at $549.99. The bad news is that like every other R9 290X 3GB on the market, it's out of stock. This is one of the most common issues when it comes to new high...
AMD's Radeon R9 290X 4GB is set to hit at $549. Considering the starting price for the GTX 780 3GB is $649.99, AMD, like the other R series based cards we've looked at, have managed to hit at the right price point. The launch of the HD 7000 series last y...
A Titan Slayer Is Born AMD may have taken a while to get to this point but with the R9 290X, they finally have a viable competitor against NVIDIA’s GTX 780 and TITAN. More importantly, this new card is being introduced at a price that seriously under...
Performance on par with high end NVIDIA cards, Affordable pricepoint
Noisy on Uber mode, Heats up considerably fast
The AMD Radeon R9 290X features a performance that is equivalent to the GTX 780 and Titan at a fraction of the price of either. That being said, it does consume a lot of power and heats up after some period of being on load due to benchmarks and gaming.(...

Good value for money, Bundle includes top AAA titles
Runs hot and loud, Isn't quite the Titan slayer as expected
solid footing AMD's smartest move with the 290X was to drop the price down to $549. Especially with the Never Settle Forever bundle included, this card looks like a great deal compared to the $649 GTX 780. Despite the fact that the 290X isn't the Titan s...
