The ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) Matrix R9 290X is a new graphics card that squeeze breathtaking performance from the latest R9 290X graphics-processing unit (GPU).

ROG Matrix R9 290X has been built on the renowned and highly-trusted ROG Matrix legacy as the coolest, quietest and most-readily-overclocked graphics cards available. DirectCU II cooling and CoolTech fan technologies combine with the brand-new Memory Defroster feature to create the perfect balance between spectacular power and out-of-the-box simplicity - all dressed up in the seductive ROG wardrobe.

With support for next-generation 4K/UHD (ultra-high-definition) gaming resolutions of up to 4096 x 2160 pixels, the Matrix R9 290X delivers an incredible gaming experience today and far into the future.
It benefits from hand-chosen cores to deliver clock speeds that are streets ahead. Respectively, the cards speeds along at 1050MHz and 1072MHz (boosted) - that's an incredible 50MHz and 144MHz faster than reference designs.

For serious games-players this means a significant performance boost of up to 13% for super-smooth frame rates that refuse to stutter. With up to 4GB of high-speed DDR5 video memory on board the Matrix R9 290X enables gamers to enjoy very high resolutions and detail levels.

This new ROG Matrix series card is brimming with advanced and exclusive hardware and software features designed to make overclocking as simple and safe as possible.

Memory Defroster is a brand-new feature that's designed to excite extreme overclockers. This clever technology quickly defrosts the graphics card's memory during below-zero overclocking to ensure sustained stability. Extreme overclockers will also appreciate the Matrix series' liquid-nitrogen (LN2) jumper switch, as it enables even more overvolting options - allowing the most adventurous users to unleash maximum greater power from their graphics cards.

The ROG Matrix series' Safe Mode allows users to overclock with complete confidence, as a single button push will restore default BIOS settings instantly.

To support stable overclocking, this card is also equipped with exclusive DIGI+ voltage-regulator modules (VRMs) with Super Alloy Power technology. The DIGI+ VRM delivers 14-phase power and digital voltage regulation, while Super Alloy Power's Japanese-made 10k black-metallic capacitors, 14 ultra-high-amperage full-molded chokes and extremely-efficient MOSFETs all withstand much greater stress and heat due to the application of specially-formulated materials.

The combination DIGI+ VRM and super-strength Super Alloy Power components means that the Matrix R9 290X is forged for high-load performance and extreme overclocking without annoying whines and buzzes noises - so hardcore overclockers can enjoy plenty of headroom for experimental performance tuning without creating gameplay distractions.

ROG Matrix R9 290X stays ultra-cool at all times, thanks some highly advanced and unique technologies - DirectCU II and CoolTech fan technology.

DirectCU is an innovative thermal technology that's exclusive to ASUS. It puts highly-conductive 10mm copper cooling pipes in direct contact with a card's GPU, so heat is dissipated quickly and with extreme efficiency. As well, the new ROG Matrix series introduces a new heat-sink that's finished in a stunning matt black, so the cards look as great as they're kept cool.

This card also features CoolTech fan technology. The CoolTech fan employs a hybrid blade and bearing design, with inner radial blower and outer flower-type blades to provide multi-directional airflow that accelerates heat removal to ensure high-end graphics performance that's highly stable. The fan's ramp is carefully tuned to ensure minimal noise.

For a final dash of style that's loaded with substance, ROG Matrix even features a gorgeous color-coded LED: this shines brightly and changes shade to reflect the GPU's load level, providing a useful visual guide for both casual and hardcore gamers.

The new ROG Matrix card includes GPU Tweak, an easy-to-use utility that gives users intuitive control over GPU and video-memory clock speeds and voltages, cooling-fan speeds and power-consumption thresholds, so they can overclock easily and with high confidence.

The exclusive ROG edition of GPU Tweak adds detailed GPU load-line calibration and VRM-frequency tuning, allowing incredibly fine control over multiple parameters for maximum overclocking and the potential to break world records.

As well, the GPU Tweak Streaming tool lets users share on-screen action over the internet in real time - so others can watch live as games are played. It's even possible to add a title to the streaming window along with scrolling text, pictures and webcam images.

Amazing Price on the ROG R9 290x

Have one myself, it replaced the sapphire r9 290.
Build quality is 2nd to none although it runs hotter and at higher fan speeds is noisier than the tri-x cards. I am still very pleased with it. My rig is build for performance not for low noise. Also a hell of a lot cooler than the reference design cards :)
