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

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
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...

La AMD Radeon R9 290 ofrece un rendimiento excepcional capaz de ejecutar casi cualquier juego a resoluciones Full HD bajo calidad Ultra sin despeinarse. Su gran problema es la temperatura, algo que posiblemente se vea resuelto en los modelos con refrigera...
Abstract: AMD R9 290 ha sido presentada como una 290X reducida. En el análisis que os traemos hoy veremos cómo AMD no se esconde al ofrecer las dos ‘Hawaii' con el mismo diseño de referencia, síntoma de que hay más similitudes que diferencias. Habiendo publicado n...
Abstract: Ahora sí, AMD ya ha terminado los NDAs y cualquier secreto sobre todos los nuevos lanzamientos gráficos del 2013, o eso esperamos, puesto que ya son 7 las VGAs presentadas este otoño. Hoy se presenta la nueva Radeon R9 290, la segunda espada de la co...
Creo que es fácil describir mi experiencia con esta tarjeta y quiero ser muy directo. No es la más rápida, sin duda, pero si yo tuviera que comprar una gráfica de gama alta ahora mismo sin duda en cuanto a AMD se refiere mi elección estaría en la Radeo...
