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.
Class leading performance for a single GPU graphics card, New PowerTune enhancements pave the way for stress free performance boosts, CrossFire no longer needs a bridge/connector, Well priced relative to the competition
Slightly high (relative) power consumption,
AMD's R9 290X has really impressed me a lot. Our results show it performs consistently better than the GTX Titan in the vast majority of benchmarks and pretty much blows the GTX 780 out of the park (we tested using the “quiet mode” BIOS switch, not the “U...
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...
The most important thing to say about the new Radeon R9 290X 4GB is that on the price performance scale it's a clear winner against Nvidia's GTX 780 3GB, at the time of writing. It undercuts it by at least £50 in the UK and $100 stateside, yet outperfo...
incredible performance, some overclocking headroom, able to outperform the GTX Titan and GTX780 OC cards, competitive pricing, undercutting the GTX780,
reference cooler is not up to the task, AMD may say it is fine, but 95c is too hot long term for my tastes, overclocking requires the fan to be set much higher, and it can get very noisy, quiet mode will suffer from core downclocking depending on the situ
The AMD R9 290X is without question an extremely powerful video card. Testing today highlighted that it was able to outperform the GTX 780 and GTX Titan in many of the latest Direct X 11 games as well as the last two iterations of 3DMark from Futuremark.F...
Abstract: In this article we made a list of all Radeon R9 290X 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...
Highest value for money in high end segment, Better OpenCL and OpenGL performance
Quite hot at high loads
AMD's R9 290X has shown to perform better than the TITAN in most benchmarks and isn't that behind the flagship from the competition but with a price of Rs. 38,000 this card gives similar performance but at roughly half the price of the TITAN which is why ...
Abstract: The R9-290X is released today and there already hundreds of reviews available. The performance from the Hawaii XT card is like we expected when we got the leaked information from several sites. It's a very hot card and can get very loud when playing a tax...
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...
