NVIDIA is holding a press event in Montreal today and it looks like AMD is crashing that party. AMD set up shop at the hotel across the street and allowed the media to come over to run both the game titles BioShock: Infinite and Tomb Raider at 4K resolutions with the AMD Radeon R9 290X versus the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780. Read on to see the first official benchmarks!
The Radeon R9 290X is an extremely powerful graphics card, faster than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 in almost every benchmark, and faster than the Titan in more than a few. With 4K resolution, which of course is still very exotic for all but the early adopters, the Radeon R9 290X takes first place in every single benchmark. Nvidia still frequently does better when it comes to the frametimes, and the 780 and Titan cards are more quiet than the 290X.
The AMD Radeon R9 290X and R9 290 have been getting a ton of attention lately due to a number of reports that the retail cards are performing differently than the press cards that the media sites received. We have been following these stories for the past few weeks and finally decided to look into the situation ourselves.
Endlich zeigt AMD sein neues Spitzenmodell in Form der Radeon R9 290X und tritt damit in unmittelbare Konkurrenz zu NVIDIAs Top-Modellen wie GeForce GTX Titan oder GTX 780. Allerdings kommt AMD nun auch mit einer überarbeiteten Power-Tune-Technik um die Ecke und wie bei NVIDIAs Boost 2.0 findet sich plötzlich eine gewisse Temperaturabhängigkeit ein. Abgeschaut oder alles richtig gemacht? Unser Test klärt die Fragen.
A couple of weeks ago AMD launched their new R9 and R7 series cards which replace the 7000 series in the market. The models released up to this point have primarily been tweaked versions of existing GPUs however today we get to see something new from AMD, their R9 290X which is based on the Hawaii chip, priced at $549/£449 and takes on the Geforce GTX 780. Today we will be taking a look at the R9 290X in games such as Battlefield 3, F1 2013 and Total War: Rome 2 to establish whether it can take on the GTX 780 and win.
We see how an AMD Radeon R9 290X compares against the dual-GPU R9 295X2 on an AMD FX-9590 CPU
After months of rumours and media hype, AMD's new flagship graphics card is here. We have a launch-day review for you guys to read and we're putting this brand new GPU through its paces on the eTeknix graphics card test system. We're very excited to bring you this review because everyone loves to see how a new flagship GPU performs and what it can deliver, even if you have no intention of ever buying it. The AMD R9 290X is a brand new GPU crafted from the same 28nm process as the HD 7000 series but using a revised architecture design (GCN 2.0 vs GCN) and a new GPU die codenamed "Hawaii".
The AMD R9 290X brings a number of new features to the table which we will cover briefly but first let's check a run down of the specifications. AMD's R9 290X is a big step up from the R9 280X (HD 7970) featuring 768 more stream processors, 1.5 more TFLOPS of compute performance, 32GB/s more memory bandwidth, double the number of ROPs and much more. A default clock speed of up to 1GHz on the core and up to 5GHz on the memory is deployed, this will vary dynamically as it is adjusted by AMD's revised PowerTune technology, which leads us on nicely to the next part - the new features of the R9 290X.
Not even the most avid Nvidia fanboy can deny the outstanding value you get with the Radeon R9 290. There is a slight trade-off, however, and that's the noise level of the 290. AMD's GPU gets hotter than Nvidia's at the same level of performance, and therefore requires more cooling which produces more noise. AMD had to boost the 290 in order to get that type of performance with fewer shader units than in the 290X.
Die 350-Euro-Grafikkarte Radeon R9 290 im Test: Traditionell folgt auf das Topmodell eines neuen Grafikchips die leicht abgespeckte Version für sparsamere Spieler. Mit AMDs Radeon R9 290 tritt folglich die kleine Schwester des "Titan-Killers" R9 290X an. Muss sich Nvidias Geforce GTX 780 fürchten oder reicht es nur für die GTX 770?
AMDs Radeon R9 290 bietet eine nur leicht abgespeckt „Hawaii“-GPU zum Preis von 350 Euro. Der vermeintliche Geheimtipp hat zurzeit allerdings noch einen großen Haken.
