MSI R9 290 GAMING 4G and R9 290X GAMING 4G are out

The long expected MSI R9 290 GAMING 4G and R9 290X GAMING 4G are now available. Packed with all of the power and features to drive UltraHD gaming resolutions the MSI Twin Frozr IV Advanced now ensures your card runs cool so you can enjoy maximum performance because AMD's PowerTune technology enables the R9 290 GAMING 4G and R9 290X GAMING 4G to run at their highest clock speeds. With support for the latest industry standards and exciting new technology such as Mantle support in Battlefield 4. 

Thanks to the bundled MSI GAMING App gamers can quickly switch between three pre-sets including a silent mode optimized for power efficiency and an overclocking and OC Mode to get the most power out of your graphics card, without worrying about learning how to overclock. The R9 290 GAMING 4G and R9 290X GAMING 4G have been designed to give you a gaming experience that delivers you true next-gen performance for ultra HD resolutions without sacrificing on thermals to kick-start your gaming rig for 2014.


Stay cool in combat
The MSI Twin Frozr IV Advanced has been completely customized for the R9 290 GAMING 4G and R9 290X GAMING 4G to deliver the best thermal experience. The design uses a larger copper base for heat absorption and the heat pipes are in contact with a bigger part of the heat sink and exposed to more airflow to ensure the highest performance of the GPU because of optimal temperatures. Combined with the dual form-in-one heat sinks that add both cooling ability and structural reinforcement the R9 290 GAMING 4G and R9 290X GAMING 4G stay cool and safe.

Optimized for Gamers
The new R9 290 GAMING 4G and R9 290X GAMING 4G are packed with features that benefit every gamer. AMD TrueAudio technology allows far more realistic positional audio and the added benefit of surround sound over connected displays. Mantle allows game developers to directly speak to the GPU optimizing GPU performance. This can all be displayed in a glorious UltraHD / 4K resolution as the new R9 290 GAMING 4G and R9 290X GAMING 4G is leading in performance at 4K resolutions. This can be easily connected through the DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors. Up to six dedicated displays can be connected to the R9 290 GAMING 4G and R9 290X GAMING 4G for an amazing Eyefinity experience.

I like how they tout the high quality capacitors that have a 72 year life instead of the standard ones that have a 22 year life. Really? Who uses a gaming card for more than 2-5?

If you run those capacitors above certain temp. idk 80-85c, it will go down x4-10, btw 72years is for hi-c cap (a little diff. and smaller), but yeah its still bizarre number xD


Well at least its build kinda robust, so you know it will be stable.

Sure, but what value does it provide? If the card is going to last 10 years max as designed from AMD who the heck keeps a PC for gaming that long? To me it just adds unnecessary cost.

I do really like and want one. I only have a 1080p 25inch lcd but this would give me alot of gpu power and last quite a while with just one. A R9 290 would make me a very happy guy.

Resale value maybe?

I can't imagine a card that runs at 80 degrees with load as a standard is going to depreciate in value at the normal rate of GPUs.
