AMD R9 290X Review

Far Cry 3

Performance in Far Cry 3 is a tale of two halves. At the regular resolution it’s clear that the 290X hasn’t quite got the same level of performance as the nVidia GTX780, but moving up to the 2560×1440 the R9 290X gains a 5 frame advantage. Unfortunately it doesn’t benefit from an overclock, and once you overclock the GTX780 it gets 7 FPS better than the regular R9 290X. Complicated, but in short the best performance is had with the nVidia card.
