I'm curious, are there any known bugs/glitches or defects with this card? I heard of the fan bug but I believe they fixed that? correct me if i'm wrong of course.

Are there any others?
 
Some have better cooling than others, I've had a few 290's and x's, Powercolor and msi were good and sapphire tri x being my favorite

It's made by Amd :p

Seriously, no real problems that can't effect every other brand of card, Early ones were hot and loud with reference coolers and a few suffered with memory issues (search black screen 290x).
 
Almost all issues will be with the drivers rather than the hardware itself (unless you get an outright faulty card), but the list of known bugs is pretty short and mostly Crossfire-related right now.

Known Issues:​

-A few game titles may fail to launch or crash if the AMD Gaming Evolved overlay is enabled. A temporary workaround is to disable the AMD Gaming Evolved "In Game Overlay"
-Need For Speed™ may experience poor scaling or flickering in AMD Crossfire™ mode. As a work around users can disable the profile through the Radeon™ Settings game manager.
-The Division™ may experience flickering in AMD Crossfire™ mode.
-Power efficiency toggle in Radeon™ Settings is showing up for some unsupported products.
-DOTA2™ may experience game menu flickering when entering full screen mode with AMD Crossfire™ enabled.
-League of Legends may experience some graphical corruption on characters death animation in AMD Crossfire™ mode.
-XCOM2™ users may experience an application crash when using AMD Crossfire™ mode. As a work around please disable AMD Crossfire™ for the games profile in the Radeon™ Settings Gaming tab.
-Hitman™ may experience flickering when played in DirectX™ 11 mode. As a work around users are recommended to either set the game to DirectX™ 12 mode in the games settings launcher or simply set “Shadow Resolution” to “Low” in the game settings.​
