With the R9 290X in Uber mode, you can see performance is very close to the heavily overclocked MSI GTX 780 Lightning, which also sees that at the higher resolution, it's ahead of the much more expensive GTX TITAN 6GB SuperClocked from EVGA. 120 FPS - The new number that we've been hunting down over recent months. These cards are little beasts. Let's see what happens with the NVIDA offerings in the coming weeks, though. When it comes to the power side of things, you can see we've got a single 6-pin and single 8-pin PCIe connector. The 290X is based on a 28nm process and the core clock comes in at 1000MHz. As of December 2011, Shawn is based out of Taipei, Taiwan. All of these technologies currently have games adopting them but that will surely change in the coming months as more and more developers adopt them in their games. We finish off the AMD side of things with the Sapphire R9 280X 3GB TOXIC, which did an awesome job of impressing us, while we've also included the MSI R9 280X 2GB Twin Frozr Gaming OC cards in CrossFire. Of course being a reference card, we don't have a package on our hands today, so we'll be moving from here into the card itself. Outside of the main specifications and the two big main features mentioned just before in the form of the Dual BIOS switch, which allows "Quiet Mode" and "Uber Mode" along with the new Bridgeless CrossFire technology, we've got support for both Mantle and AMD True Audio. Power draw numbers are at almost 500w when under load. Because it's also our first R9 290X, we'll be covering some of the main features that the new model brings to the table. That means overclocking the memory can really give some improvements thanks to that 512bit wide bus. CrossfireX has also been changed with the R9 290X not needing bridge cables to be able to run multi-GPU. Nexuiz for consoles is powered by CryENGINE 3. This includes crossfire.". Please Note: We still include Far Cry 2 in our benchmarks (we know it's old) as a way for our readers to get a general representation of how older games perform on new hardware. At the lowest resolution, there's really nothing, moving to 1920 x 1200 and 2560 x 1600, though, you can really see quite a large increase in performance. The R290 and R290X both bring with it bridgeless CrossFire technology. 60 FPS - It's the average we look for when we don't have a minimum coming at us. Developer Homepage: http://irrationalgames.com/, Product Homepage: http://www.bioshockinfinite.com. Sleeping Dogs is played as an over-the-shoulder, third-person perspective action-adventure game with role-playing elements. If you do not play with headphones, you do not have a high-end gaming chassis, or your room's ambient noise level is extremely low this may be the mode for you.". Along with comparing the card against itself, though, we've got a number of AMD offerings including the PowerColor PCS HD 7950 2GB overclocked to over 1100MHz, while the reference HD 7970 GHz Edition rounds off our collection of previous generation AMD cards. The memory side also changes. The R9 290X had a launch price of $549. The ideal situation is that even in a heavy fire fight, the minimum stays above 30 FPS making sure that you can continue to aim easily or turn the corner with no dramas. This is compatible with the AMD frame pacing technology inside the Catalyst driver suite and brings with it no reduction in performance when compared to having an external bridge. In Uber Mode, we see a decent jump again in performance and it is now able to outperform both NVIDIA offerings at all resolutions. If you're not happy with this number, you can head in and lower it, of course it's going to come at the cost of noise levels. From 2009, Shawn is also taking care of our memory reviews, and from May 2011, Shawn also takes care of our CPU, chipset and motherboard reviews. His favorite animal is the scapegoat. © 1999-2020. If you want to power the MSI R9 290X Lightning you'll need a pair of 8-pin and a 6-pin power connections available. Comparing Quiet and Uber mode against each other, you can see at 1680 x 1050 little changes. You can see we've got two Dual-Link DVI connectors, along with the standard HDMI port and our DisplayPort, which supports Multi-Stream Transport with an adapter.
