PowerColor R9 290 Review and Comparison

Unigine Heaven

We’ve reached the last benchmark and it is appropriate that it is completely unpredictable. So far given our results we’d guess than in Heaven the 290 would be okay at 1080 and poor at 2560, with the addition of the 8xMSAA only exacerbating this. Whereas in actuality although the PowerColor R9 290 isn’t a patch on the bigger nVidia cards, it’s much closer to the 290X than we’ve seen in other tests and miles ahead of the GTX770.
