ASUS Radeon R9-290X Matrix review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/25/2014 09:30 AM [ 5 comment(s) ]

In this review we will benchmark and test the ASUS Radeon R9-290X Matrix Platinum edition. This Radeon R9-290X has been overhauled from A to Z. Yeah, the GPU might have remained in-tact, however the graphics card received an all custom 14-phase digital VRM based PCB, a luxurious cooler, some James Bond style gadgets for the hardcore overclockers and next to that, the product has been factory overclocked towards a nice 1050 MHz on the GPU core. Interesting stuffz we say !

Hilbert, why didn't you include the ASUS GeForce GTX 780 Ti Matrix numbers for easy comparison?

A 4 pin molex in the back, funny that made me feel like back in 2004.

Edit: Saw over the net that ASUS is using elpida memory chips, don't know if it's on all cards or just some samples. They are rated at 1350MHz.

Looks like a great card for LN fans. Let's see how far they can push it.
