AMD Radeon R9 290X with Hawaii GPU pictured, has 512-bit 4GB Memory

[LtMatt]

So from the pic above, the 290 should be not much slower than the 290X I guess?

I'd love to pun "2560 steam processors for 2560 res gaming on Ultra (with the exception needing to drop down to high on Metro, BF4, Crysis 3 etc)"

I reckon it will be about 5%-7.5% slower.

I reckon it will be about 5%-7.5% slower.

Pretty much the 7970 - 7950 performance delta again (clock for clock).

**hoping the 290 (non x) isn't gimped to prevent it matching its fully unlocked brother**

Have you not seen the slide knocking around?, looks like it has the same memory but less cores

Really considering betraying the green team for this. I can't wait for benchmarks, hoping for Titan beating performance at Titan beating pricing

at Titan beating pricing

***!

Yes, I was talking more in reference to overclocking and voltage tuning (in other words because the cards are so similar hopefully the 290 (non x) won't be gimped when it comes to overclocking.

 

[psychas]

non X 290 looks pretty good depends on pricing

 

[JediFragger]

Hopefully they won't **** up the 290Pro pricing In exchange they can do what the hell they want with the X pricing )

10% more cores is nothing to be honest.

I've been waiting for this! Gonna get 2, drown them and finally get some proper use out of my 144Hz monitor.

If that R290 is reasonably priced, I'll get one.
I'm pretty confident I'll get up getting the R290

Unless price is ridiculous.

 

[flopper]

good luck with that

watercooled 290x 1200+mhz territory will get close to 7990 performance.
not to shabby with a single card IMO.

Quick one (and apologies if it has been mentioned)

Is Mantle only for the RX range of cards and beyond or will 7XXX cards be able to run it too?

 

[1kiwi]

Can anyone confirm when the 290 is going to be release yet?

 

[humbug]

2 or 3 weeks ^^^

I'm gonna get a 7990 for a smaller than usual (I usually go wild on new build) mini-ITX build

mini-ITX? make sure it fits, its a big card

 

[Gripen90]

If the price is right on that Radeon R9-290 then I'll snatch one for the misses new PC build ! (16GB G.Skill Ares 1866Mhz, MSI X79A-GD45 Plus, Core i7 3820, Antec Kühler 920 - got all of this 2nd hand for £220 ! )
