AMD Radeon R9-290 review





We review the AMD Radeon R9-290. We'll benchmark these cards with FCAT Frametimes, Ultra High Definition and of course we'll check out game performance with the latest games next to power consumption and heat levels as well. This is one review you don't want to miss! The new second to best flagship product has been long awaited and anticipated. The Radeon R9-290 will compete with Nvidia's GeForce GTX 780. The card as such is a beast. As such this in-depth review will cover the Volcanic Islands GPU architecture, Hawaii for the 290 series.

Incorrect they have been tested independently, the cards are identical in terms of noise and cooling though.
I'm a bit curious why the temperature & noise page was copied from the 290x instead of getting it's own sample review?

I still don't trust the whole "the card is fine running at 95C."
