Our good friends over at HardOCP has posted a review on the AMD Radeon R9 290 Video Card. It’s the baby brother of the R9 290X, but it still packs a hefty punch for much cheaper! … Here’s a snip …
“It is time now to look at AMD’s Radeon R9 290. This lower-cost R9 290 series video card packs a punch, not only in performance, but also in price. Watch it compete with the GeForce GTX 780, and win while being priced lower. This is the value you have been waiting for with gaming performance.
The R9 290 is simply a beast. If you look at it compared to the R9 290X it is right on the heels of the 290X, for $150 cheaper. It is possible the R9 290X might have got a bump from the Beta V8 driver as well, we have to re-test it with Beta V8 driver to find out, which we are going to do in an upcoming review this week.”
