ASUS R9 290X DirectCU II OC Review

BattleField 4
The reference 290X couldn't quite manage the magical 60FPS average, but the ASUS offering easily does. Showing both how hard the graphics card works in BattleField and how well the Catalyst drivers declock the card to keep temperatures under control, the overclock has less performance than the stock clocks of the DirectCU II.

that card needs a price drop, at 500 euros with custom cooler it would fit between the 780 and the 780ti.Quote

I'm waiting for my Sapphire Tri-X 290 from OCUK, they were supposed to get stock on the 27th to be delivered on the 28th. That didn't happen though

I'm really tempted to sell my 280x and get the 290 version of this or get the toxic 290.Quote
