Radeon R9 290 Performance Figures Leaked by OCUK
Though we can't be sure about the validity of these benchmarks, OCUK decided to leak the results for the Radeon R9-290 (non x model). In a chart where they conveniently 'blur' the 290 name. This card will be the affordable product in the Hawaii product stack. Judging from the results the R9-290 beats NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 780 in synthetic benchmarks.
The R9-290 is based on 28 nm "Hawaii" just like the Radeon R9 290X, the R9 290 is a cheaper version featuring 2,560 Graphics Core Next stream processors, 160 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and a 512-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 4 GB of memory (if the leaks are right). The product seems to ship with a clock speeds of 947 MHz (core), and 5.00 GHz memory, GDDR5-effective). It should be available from the 31st of October, 2013.
Here are the benchmarks from Overclockers UK.

wait for asus 290X CuTop with the trippel slot cooler or just go h2o
This looks the more interesting card to me, esp if they can keep the thermals better controlled. At an expected price of $450? should be the real winner of the two.

If you can wait for custom design cards, the 290 is the one to go for, incredible value for money.

if is as good as it seems to be I'll be surprised if Nvidia dont lower price no?
What I am interested in now is how the 290x and 290 overclock under H20 because if the 290's overclock well I'll be happy with one of them and save a bit of cash..
Although in the long run I want something for 27inch sceen, although could add a second in a yrs time.
Suppose 850w will still cover it either way...
