  • Native full-size HDMI and DisplayPort
  • Improved multi-monitor output

  • 4 GB video memory
  • Support for AMD TrueAudio
  • Similar performance to the GTX Titan at nearly half the cost a gutsy play that should provoke a response from Nvidia.

The editors didn't like

  • Power consumption
  • Runs hot. Noisy when at full power
  • Still Somewhat Pricey
  • High Power Consumption
  • Pumps Out A Lot Of Heat
  • Louder Than Competitive GeForces
  • Flipping BIOS to “Uber Mode” delivers a bit more performance
  • But with extra heat and noise
  • Noise
  • Noisy
  • High temperatures
  • High power consumption
  • No analog VGA outputs
  • It's hot enough to remind us of Fermi and it's still priced like a premium card compared to more mainstream Radeons.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...
