IVIYTH0S Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) I can't believe nobody is talking about this! http://www.anandtech.com/show/7457/the-radeon-r9-290x-review Seriously this has made me so happy to see what a beast was released at such a price, kicking the ass of more expensive cards! I'm so proud of AMD! Edited October 26, 2013 by IVIYTH0S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 yeah it's an awesome card and the fact with the stock fan it's throttling to 700mhz from heat and still beating the 780 is crazy. I want to buy 2 of these and slap waterblocks on them. Rise the clocks some more and it will be unstoppable, that is until nvidia drops the prices and I get some titans instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we'll be seeing the R9 290 this week supposedly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locutus Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I think the most impressive part is that in Metro Last Light they're getting better FPS than the 780SLI setup (@3840x2160, high settings) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarWeeny Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 i am still suprised why occ dont have a card/review yet while there are plenty of reviews online for several days now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 i am still suprised why occ dont have a card/review yet while there are plenty of reviews online for several days now. May be you should PM Bosco to know more details about the reason because of which its review is not here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Curious to see how the 780 Ti compares to this and how NVIDIA will price it now that this (290X) is out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 i am still suprised why occ dont have a card/review yet while there are plenty of reviews online for several days now. Probably has something to do with Frank being the only one testing video cards and AMD driver support being so horrible that it takes him much longer to review each card - don't even ask him about his time with the 270X, he may rip your head off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm? I've still never had, in all my years with AMD, driver issues (even with a 4870x2 and 5970 CF setups). Don't ask me about my GTX295 though... I'll buy from either vendor though, no hard feelings. Whoever makes the best card for the dollar at my maximum price range gets my buck. It just so happens that AMD does that more often lol Curious to see how the 780 Ti compares to this and how NVIDIA will price it now that this (290X) is out. It'd have to be better than the Titan to even be a "threat" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd have to be better than the Titan to even be a "threat" No it doesn't because Titan isn't strictly about gaming performance - the only reason anyone should spend the money on a Titan is if they want a card that can handle both workstation and gaming tasks.

Synthetic + No Proof? I'll wait for actual, confirmed gaming benches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
