Even better value than R9 290X
Overclocks reasonably well
Excellent performance for a single GPU graphics card of its price
CrossFire no longer needs a bridge/connector
Excellent price relative to the competition
4GB of GDDR5 as standard at its price point
Super bang for buck

End card
Indistinguishable performance from 290X
Fantastic price point
Superb performance

The editors didn't like
Reference card is loud and runs hot
No bundled games
Slightly high (relative) power consumption to the GTX Titan
Reference cooler is weak – it does run hot and loud
Still not within the price range of many
Makes AMD look silly to put 290X out first
Can get loud
Will run hot
Core clock can downclock depending on ambient temperature and fan speed
Kitguru says
A fantastic
High value for money proposition
But we advise our audience to wait on custom cooled versions of the hardware before parting w
Abstract: With these chart lists we're publishing benchmark results from recent graphics cards with three different resolutions: FullHD, 1440p and UltraHD. In all cases we've set details to maximum and we're listing minimum framerates as well as maximum framerates....
Abstract: Comparisons of two mid-range roughly graphics cards with one high-end VGA are almost always good for some really interesting results. Today we're having a look at what two AMD Radeon R9 270 graphics cards can do against one Radeon R9 290. If you keep in m...
Abstract: In this article we made a list of all Radeon R9 290 around sorted by manufacturers with pics, specs and prices. At the end of the article you also find an interactive overview with filtering and sorting functions to compare all cards. If you think or see ...
Abstract: Two weeks ago AMD launched its new flagship graphics card, the Radeon R9 290X. A slightly slower version, the Radeon R9 290, finally comes out today. It's cheaper, has fewer active shader units and runs at a lower clock frequency. Originally AMD had p...
The technology press is in the privileged position of receiving high-end components before anyone else sees them. Although this sometimes translates to all-night marathons of benchmarking and cramped hands, the trade-off is that most of us can build bleed...

The AMD Radeon R9 290 follows in the footsteps of the range-topping 290X by providing a high-quality gaming experience at a palatable cost. And just as the second-rung performance card has historically offered an even better bang-for-buck, the R9 290, pr...
AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB Graphics Card Launch ReviewIt has been a busy time of late with AMD graphics card launches… and a little sprinkling of APU goodness with the A10-6790K. On the graphics card front things started with the introduction of something new ...

Slightly high (relative) power consumption to the GTX Titan, Reference cooler is weak – it does run hot and loud,
Like the AMD R9 290X the R9 290 has impressed me immensely, perhaps more so. We've seen performance that is generally better than both the GTX Titan (by a small margin) and consistently better than the GTX 780. The R9 290, at least from our results, only...

What this all means then is that there is simply zero reason to spend more than this on a graphics card right now, unless you absolutely can't cope with your graphics card running at 93ºC. The non-Ti GTX 780 is still quieter and cooler, with similar perf...
