ASUS R9 290X DirectCU II OC Review

3D Mark 11

We see similar improvements in 3D Mark 11. 14415/4659 becomes 14815/4822 in ‘out of the box’ mode, and the extra cooling capability which allows us to overclock ends up bringing us 15655/5158 in overclocked trim. A good boost indeed. In fact in the P score department it’s a match for the GTX780Ti, even if the Extreme preset doesn’t find the 290X DCUII matching up.
