As expected, Club 3D was one of the many partners that have finally and officially launched their own Radeon R9 290X graphics cards. Club 3D will have two versions, with and without the Battlefield 4 game, and will be based on AMD's reference design, which is the case with all currently available R9 290X graphics cards.

In case you missed it earlier, AMD's Radeon R9 290X is based on the 28nm Hawaii XT GPU with 2816 stream processors, 176 texture memory units, 64 ROPs and a 512-bit memory interface paired up with 4GB of GDDR5 memory. It supports DirectX 11.2 as well as AMD's new Crossfire via PCI-Express, Eyefinity, and Mantle API and comes with two DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.

Club 3D's R9 290X will work at 800MHz GPU base and 1000MHz GPU Boost clocks while 4GB of GDDR5 memory will be clocked at 5.0GHz. As noted earlier, the R9 290X graphics card features two DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs and uses AMD' reference blower-style dual-slot cooler. It feature support for AMD Crossfire via PCI-Express, Eyefinity, TrueAudio as well as DirectX 11.2, OpenGL 4.2, OpenCL 1.2 and AMD's Mantle API.

Club 3D's R9 290X should be quite competitive in European regions, especially in the Netherlands so we expect it to be among the cheapest ones.
