Two days ago AMD introduced the new Radeon R9 280X, R9 270X and R7 260X graphics cards (you can find our review here). Granted, the main 'new' thing about the cards were their names, considering the R9 280X is a different version of the Radeon HD 7970, the R9 270X is an updated version of the HD 7870 and the R7 260X is based on the Radeon HD 7790. We tested the ASUS R9280X-DC2T-3GD5, MSI R9 280X Gaming, MSI R9 270X Hawk and MSI R9 270X Gaming 2G.
When the AMD Radeon HD 7970 was introduced in 2011 it cost $549 and made short work of NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 580 video card. The AMD Radeon HD 7970 used the Tahiti GPU that has 2,048 stream processors built on the TSMC's 28nm process technology with 3GB of GDDR5 memory on a 384-bit bus. If someone would have told us back in 2011 that this video card would be re-branded and still being sold in 2014 we would have laughed, but here we are nearly two years later and that is exactly what happened. The AMD Radeon 200 series will be headed up by the Radeon R9 290X, but that flagship card has not been released just yet. The second fastest card is the AMD Radeon R9 280X and that is the re-branded Radeon HD 7970! Our friends at ASUS, MSI and XFX sent us retail cards for us to take a look at. Each of the cards are running at various clock speeds, so it should give us all a pretty good idea of what we can expect from the AMD R9 280X lineup. Read on to find out!
Die AMD Radeon R9 280X, 270X, R7 260X, 250 und 240 Grafikkarten wurden vorgestellt und bereits umfangreich getestet.
Seit einigen Wochen ist die Volcanic-Island-Generation von AMD in aller Munde. Die zahlreichen Spekulationen rund um die neuen Grafikkarten nehmen nun ein Ende, denn soeben ist das NDA gefallen. Berichten dürfen wir endlich über die Radeon R9 280X, R9 270X, R7 260X und die beiden Einsteigermodelle R7 250 und R7 240. Neben den Spezifikationen, haben wir euch die Features der neuen Grafikkarten zusammengefasst.
The last major piece to the R series of video cards is released today with the new AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB. Let's dive in now and examine it.
What happens when you take an AMD Radeon R9 290X video card and disable four compute units, lower the core clock speed just a smidge and slash the price by $150 dollars? You end up with the lower cost AMD Radeon R9 290 graphics card. The new Radeon R9 290 features same exact Hawaii GPU that is found on the Radeon R9 290X and supports all the new stuff like AMD TrueAudio, Mantle, DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.3. Read on to see how it performs!
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.
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?
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.
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.
