Over at the Asian Expreview they somehow got their hands on a R9-290X graphics card, and then took it apart. Check out how the PCB features the Hawaii chip from AMD alongside sixteen Hynix GDDR5 memory chips being powered by a 5+1+1 phase power design.

Reviews of the Radeon R9 290X can be expected later this month.

Did you mean "Reviews of the Radeon R9 290X can be expected tomorrow. "? ;-)

Anyway, looking forward to it. I think the past couple of months have clearly shown what happens without competition ($).

I was hoping BF4 would finally push our cards but I can still max out out at a stupidly high frame rate. I wanna get excited for hardware again, but it'll be another 2 years before the games start to come that push what we have now. Even then I'm not sure that will happen due to the low power of these new consoles and how game development focuses around them.

Nvidia and AMD need to make their own software development studio to sell their cards, buy Crytek or something, they can't be worth much seeing the massive flops they've had with their past few games.

There's a rumor that the launch has been postponed to the end of the month, we will see tomorrow if it's true.
